Howdy Newgrounders, I'm here to share the results from the first ever LittleJS game jam! Three years ago I open sourced the engine I used to make Space Huggers, Bounce Back, and other games. I put a ton of work into cleaning it up and adding documentation.
Over time I continued to improve it with help from others adding plugins like Box2D physics and speeding up the rendering by a tremendous amount. We will continue working on it and making it the best little game engine there is.
Check out this video highlighting the top 10 games. There were 35 games submitted and voted on by participants. It's amazing to see the quality and variety of games on display here! 🚂

Also a big thanks to Tom from Newgrounds for helping to sponsor LittleJS jam by offering a $100 prize for the top overall game and another $100 for the top LittleJS game submitted to Newgrounds, and that game is GATOR with a score of 3.94 and 284 votes it was a clear fan favorite! 🏆🙏
Look out for more big LittleJS engine games, jams, and other news this year. You can learn more about LittleJS on GitHub. I'll also be releasing some new games on NG soon like an improved Dr1v3n Wild and maybe even the long awaited Space Huggers 2? We'll see, the future is full of surprises! Peace! 😄👍
