All I can say is wow, this TAG is super close. I'll preface this by saying that all the games submitted were enjoyable, even the incomplete ones were fun to play, but I've got to choose a winner, so here we go.

I'm going to give some of my thoughts and opinions on each game, then at the end i'll announce the winner. - - - Packer  Durga Prasad & Nithin Reddy The first game to be submitted to the jam makes it into the final three for several reasons. The first and foremost being that, without reading the description given by Mr. Prasad, I knew exactly what sort of personal moment the game was aiming to get across.

Themes for #TAGJam7 will be announced in less than 24 hours,  @ 7th Feb 0000GMT.  EDIT: To Clarify, The Arbitrary Gamejam #7 is 2 Days (48 hours) of development time! Originally, we had considered making #TAGJam7 the first week-long TAG, in fact we'd even thought of asking entrants to dedicate their entries to a special someone for valentines day. But unfortunately, the timing is bad for most people, so we're going to stick with the regular weekend affair. That doesn't mean there isn't a twist though! Special Rule You Game Must Relate To or Be Inspired By A Personal Moment In Your Life In other words, we want your game to really mean something to you, even if its not obvious to the rest of us exactly how, we want your games to come from a special/powerful/meaningful place.
