The TOJam #4 Arcade – May 22 – Public, Free!
it's perfectly readable, you just need glasses
Friday May 22nd
7:30pm – Midnight
Open to the Public
FREE!
29 games were created and they want… nay… NEED to be shown!
Not only will you be playing, you’ll be voting.
oooo… now that’s what I call interactive.
6 games will be projected at a time, changing every half hour.
Drinks are available at the bar, to help your hand eye skills.
Official Kickoff at 7:45pm. BE PROMPT!
Note
Due to size limitations we cannot hold the TOJam Arcade at the excellent Unit bar. We will be found instead at The Blue Moon Pub, located near downtown Toronto on Queen Street near Broadview. Hope to be back at cozy & sleek Unit for the next social.

The TOJAM Arcade was a lot of fun, the indie developers deserve a lot of praise for their hard work and amazing results. I was stunned at how innovative and fun to play many of the games were – given that they only have 2.5 days to work on them. I’ll be posting my photos and videos on NextGen Player soon!
P.S. Big thanks to Rob Segal for inviting me!

Thanks so much for coming out Paul! A slight confession… half the games probably had more than 2.5 days work put into them. When the arcade is complete, we encourage teams to continue to work on their games for the arcade and (hopefully) afterward. We want everyone to keep the momentum from the jam, rather than stop them.
That being said, it’s not at all obvious which games were worked on for a short amount of time. i.e. “Flock U” was made in 18 hours total, and “Spirit Guide” was started and finished by 1 person (including all graphics) in the 3 days.
