First Place: The MakeCode Forums by ChimbroDaPro

)

Never has a game united the MakeCode team in such awe! We laughed. We cried. We shook in fear. This is a fantastic example of what we hope forum.makecode.com never becomes…but it was beyond fun to play through this simulation to figure out how many endings were possible.

Second Place: Fighting Fire by Toolazyfurnames

With it’s gorgeous graphics and rapid game play, this unique take on a Galga style game can entertain you for hours!

Third Place: Community Heroes Game Jam by Iam

This platformer is nearly impossible for those who are inexperienced with keyboard navigation, but it presents a hearty challenge and tons of fun for those who persevere.
