Vibe Jam 2026 winners and how the games are getting close to real production quality

And lots of thanks to @s13k_ for helping out so much with the logistics of the Vibe Jam again, like creating the website and the entire judging system and so much more! Amazing work!

And thanks to all our amazing sponsors who made it possible

The vibe coded games this year are much much better than last year, all the judges agree on that, and personally I feel they're getting close to production-ready games that could compete with real game studios:

@timsoret, a game dev himself, said: "The quality is much higher level than last year, wow. Some of them are getting close to be genuine games. I think next year (or maybe 6 months at the given rate), it will match many game devs. Not the top 20%, but a 3rd year student yes!"

THANK YOU AND SEE YOU NEXT YEAR 👋❤️

P.S. you can play ALL the games on vibej.am
