#justbeatit SECTOR ZERO

Just released first person puzzle platform game where you play with physics and take over machines. Beaten within an hour but it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Feels a bit like an early Half-Life 2 mod of some sorts, but with an amazing artstyle

#justbeatit Outrun Game Gear

Pretty nice approximation of the original. However quite different too. Its shorter and there’s pyramids in Europe? Also in this version you need to use brakes where in the arcade pumping gas was enough. Music is slapping as ever though!

#justbeatit The Room

After watching Hellraiser I was in the mood for some puzzle boxes. And idk why this game is called The Room because its just a series of puzzle boxes. They weren’t particularly challenging but it was a fun 2h of clicking around with jank controls.

Didn’t know you worked on it! That makes me want to play it even more. Thanks for the write up!

Power Drift

Game is held together by shoestrings&ducttape and it should work at all. Yet it’s a very fun but nauseating racer. Managed to beat two courses on easy and even that was tough. Game is not meant to beat. Seen the rest of the tracks. So I call #justbeatit.

#justbeatit Overboard!

Murder mystery adventure game by @inkle.co. Except you committed the murder and you have try to not get arrested for it (and if you get insurance money that’s nice bonus!).
Got 3 endings, 1 with credits. Very tense and well written timeloop game.

That's the thing with jams.. everyone can submit and most of the time maps won't get rejected of poor quality (except it did get tested if the map actually works and is completable).

If you want to play something tested you should play Dwell, Underdark Overbright or Punishment Due.

The Joy of Putting by @potomax.bsky.social

I truly learned the joy of putting. The dick shaped holes where the hardest for me. But in the end I got good with the balls and #justbeatit.

I can see this map could be divisive. It's a bit quirky and tests out concepts which are otherwise not there in Quake (puzzle platforming and sneaking). I could see those are annoying.

Thanks for playing!

I also made a map for it - "The Oppressing Facade". Thanks a ton to the QBJ3 team for making basically a new super polished and audiovisually stunning game. I can't stress enough how high the production value for it is!

Except the competition opted to give a brown filter on every game, which aged like milk.

Just sponsor and train two Quibbles as quickly as possible. Especially some with mid odds. Never bet on 1/1 odds quibbles, just cripple those or roid up the one you’re betting on. Also not only you have to win money, you also have to be sure the opponent don’t! And be lucky I guess.
