Game Off III – Everyone’s a Winner

Last month, we challenged you to fork a game repository and do something awesome with it based on our Tron-inspired theme, “the game has changed“. Below are the submissions. They’re all super fun and playable in your browser, so click around and enjoy.

And remember – while the contest has officially ended, the fun doesn’t stop here. All of these games are open source. Read the code, fork the repository, and help improve them even further. Make them harder, make them easier, add more octocats, or put your own spin on them.

Now for some real user power…
