N64brew Game Jam 2021

The second homebrew game jam put together by the N64brew community on Discord. The entries were designed around the preselected theme, Control, which was announced at the beginning of the jam, on October 8, 2021, which ran until December 7, 2021. After two months of work, the entries were judged based on multiple categories. The total prize pot for charitable donations was $1,254 USD. The winner of the 2021 N64Brew Game Jam, Danielface, chose the Rainforest Trust[1], a nonprofit environmental organization focused on the purchase and protection of tropical lands to strategically conserve threatened species.
