Summary
Game Off, GitHub’s annual month-long game jam, returns for its 14th year this November. Whether you’re making your first game or your fiftieth, they'd love for you to join them. You have until December 1, 2026, at 13:37 PST to build and submit a game inspired by SHIFT. A one-button (or two-button) game where the Shift keys are is your only control. A racing game where shifting gears changes more than your speed.
