About Going Hyper
Going Hyper is a game jam for hyper-casual game developers who will have a chance to create a real game or a prototype during one weekend in a team of creative individuals.
Organizers involve top experts (mentors) who will help developers in a creative process, evaluate and give feedback for their projects as well as involve partners who will support the game jam in various ways.
At the end of the event, developers will have a chance to present their games to the jury. The best projects will get valuable prizes as well as new opportunities for collaboration.
Why Hyper Casual
Over the past three years, hyper-casual games have seen unprecedented growth, and with recent million investments and the success of major hyper-casual powerhouses, their momentum is only getting stronger.
Why Game Jam
Hyper casual refers to minimalist games that emphasize simplicity in their design, quick development, and advancements in ad monetization — a perfect match for game jam which implies creating a complete game within a short span of time.
