Indie Dev Rush

Race through a three-day indie game jam in 42 ten-second mini-games, and turn a blank project into a finished release before the deadline. Indie Dev Rush transforms the complete game-development cycle into a fast, hand-drawn arcade challenge. Code, create art, design levels, compose music, playtest, fix bugs, promote your project, upload the build, and discover how the jam judges rate your work. THREE DAYS. ONE DEADLINE. Start with an idea and follow one continuous production schedule from the first line of code to launch day. Activities become more demanding as the deadline approaches, while the rising pace of the soundtrack makes every new task feel more urgent. 12 DEVELOPMENT MINI-GAMES - Write code and advertising copy under pressure. - Draw, arrange, and polish visual elements with direct touch. - Perform rhythm patterns to compose the soundtrack. - Playtest your creation and react quickly to hazards. - Search for bugs, manage essential breaks, and prepare the final upload. - Advertise the release, play the finished game, and face the ratings. A CONTROLLER THAT CHANGES WITH THE TASK This is not one virtual joystick repeated across every activity. Each mini-game automatically presents a purpose-built mobile control: a five-key smart keyboard for typing, four performance pads for rhythm, a horizontal drag rail for movement, hold-and-release timing, or direct touch for drawing, searching, and arranging objects. The controls are illustrated to belong inside the workstation on screen, so the phone or tablet becomes part keyboard, part music console, part drawing surface, and part testing rig. Every interaction is designed for touch on iPhone and iPad, with no external controller required. YOUR WORK BECOMES THE REVIEW Every success and mistake contributes to seven review categories: Fun, Innovation, Theme, Graphics, Audio, Humor, and Mood. Finish the jam to reveal the category scores, overall result, final ranking, and your saved personal best. FEATURES - 42 rapid-fire activities across a complete three-day game jam. - 12 development-themed mini-games covering creation, testing, release, and survival. - Five adaptive touch-control systems that change with the activity. - A connected scoring system across seven game-review categories. - Escalating challenge and an increasingly urgent soundtrack. - A colorful hand-drawn world inspired by the chaos of indie development. - Persistent best ranking for repeat runs and score chasing. - A focused single-player experience designed for iPhone and iPad.
