Treasure Chest: February 2020

As in every year, February was the start of a very active jam season in 2020, too. The Global Game Jam in particular played a big part at the time, with us recommending a total of twenty-seven jam submissions that month, but not one single indie game in addition to our regular articles on our Twitter account. But enough of this trivia; instead, better check out all these wonderful jam gems!
