Welcome!
We took a little break for GDC, but we are back! Join our 4-day game jam with $300+ in prizes. Create games using Unity and Bezi, built around this jam's theme: Boomerang.
Your game must revolve around the theme Boomerang. Beyond that, you have full creative freedom. Explore any genre, tone, or style you want. Keep it focused on a clear connection to the theme so players can see your take on it.
About Bezi
Bezi is a development assistant that integrates directly into Unity, intelligently indexing your entire project, including assets, scenes, packages, scripts, and components, to provide context-aware assistance. Whether you are debugging complex scene-level issues, generating custom shaders, creating editor tools, or prototyping new mechanics, Bezi understands your specific project structure and coding style to deliver targeted solutions that go far beyond what traditional IDEs can offer. You can download and use Bezi here, or visit our itch.io page.

What goes around comes around. Whether it is a mechanic, a narrative thread, or a whole game world that loops back on itself, we want to see how you bring the idea of return to life. Think cycles, consequences, echoes, throwbacks, or anything that finds its way back.
Join our Discord
Join our Discord community to connect with fellow developers, find potential teammates, and throw ideas around with the community throughout the jam. For questions about Bezi, please use #bezi-feedback.
