The idea behind this game jam was to introduce web devs to the wonders of making games. React is not traditionally used for making games, but that's part of the fun and challenge. There were lots of incredible submissions, everything from cute 2D board games using plain React to gorgeous 3D platformers using react-three-fiber.

We've gotten a great response from the participants, who really enjoyed creating games, many for the first time ever. We hope this jam provides a fun opportunity for web devs to try making games w/o having to learn Unity, Unreal, or another game-specific framework. I'm one of the organizers, just let me know if you have any questions.

I started with the simple prompt of “make a multiplayer Frogger game using the Rune MCP” and that's where the first game came from, then guided it step-by-step from there for all the improvements.

Pretty much every tweak you see in the video came from a message I sent, like “can you make the frogs cuter, not just circles with eyes?” or a message to remove the timer game over system and explaining how I wanted the game over system to be. So it wasn’t one-shot, but more like an ongoing conversation.


We’ve seen a ton of momentum and excitement around the Rune MCP + React Jam this time, so we’re giving everyone an extra day to finish up their games. New end date is May 27!

We know folks in the U.S. have the day off for Memorial Day, and this gives a bit more breathing room for polish, bug fixes, or that last-minute idea you’ve been sitting on.

Happy jamming!
