Winter React Game Jam - Games Made with Javascript and React

Let's take a look at some of the entries for the recent Winter React Game Jam. There's a lot to love here, and hopefully something you see will inspire you to fire up a new project and make something fun and interesting. Developing games with React is a great way to practice and learn JS web development and optimization techniques. And besides, you might even learn something.

Hey! We made Dragons in Dungeons! I'm glad you liked it, the frame rate issue was likely caused by my attempts at making ray cast lighting in 10 days LOL

Very cool stuff!

[@joeyscott2256]

Nice thanks for showing! We need more React web games!

[@markmakesstuff6702]

Hey!! Thanks for reviewing our game!! I acted as peer mentor / coach for reverse Pac-Man. Most of our students had never used react before and I’m thrilled you enjoyed it and gave great feedback!

[@markmakesstuff6702]

Thanks! I really like games that flip a familiar idea into something new or unusual.

Hey, I like your video about the reactjam, and Im happy that you liked my game (A and M Adventures). I just didn't have enought time to concept and programming more levels or levels that actually needed cooperation I just wanted to show in the levels what is in there and what it do. And yes I like the fact that you need to be actually on the same computer to play together especially after the pandemic the people are kinda "distancing"and I want to get people closer again. It was also always much fun in my childhood to play something like Moorhun Kart or some other games with my siblings and friends an one PC with one keyboard it's really nostalgic, yes this game will be getting more features in the future i also want to add touch controls 👀 so it is also mobile friendly😂 and some better and more levels 🤣

[@markmakesstuff6702]

Thanks. Those controls are so smooth!
