The Secret Santa game jam is very cool. The theme is different for every participant. You write a letter to Santa and somebody has to make a game out of your letter.

My submission to the PS1 Game Jam! You control the wind to move around a tumbleweed and extinguish dynamites before they detonate! I started working on the game on the last 3 days, so I tried chatgpt to help me with the codes and it was awful! Debugging was a nigthmare! Never again! #gamedev
