The HPP AI Game Jam has officially concluded its month-long journey. This beta event was designed to explore how “Vibe Coding” can empower anyone to build and share games effortlessly. Despite its beta status, the event saw over 400 participants, resulting in 289 games being developed and published on our network.
Final Winners and Evaluation Criteria
The competition showcased remarkable creativity and technical potential. Each submission underwent a rigorous evaluation process based on a comprehensive set of criteria, including playability, balance of difficulty, functional implementation, and technical complexity.
Our top three final winners are:
- AUTO SURVIVOR MINI WO14 (1st Place, cwlim****@gmail.com),
- DUNGEON MEMORY (2nd Place, clue****@gmail.com),
- and Dream Cartridge (3rd Place, vnrs**@gmail.com).
Furthermore, we are excited to recognize treecode***@gmail.com, will*****@gmail.com, masonape***@gmail.com, and nilaayuanggri****@gmail.com as the winners of our mini-competitions held throughout the event.
Random Selection Winners via Noosphere VRF
To reward participation across the board, we also conducted a random draw for three additional winners. To ensure the highest level of fairness, we used the Noosphere-based VRF (Verifiable Random Function).
The following participants have been selected as our random winners: soaty**@gmail.com(0x67f20…), rnrmfvha***@gmail.com(0xB598…), and dindaarumdot***@gmail.com(0xe3B17…). Prize distributions for all winners mentioned above will be processed sequentially following this announcement.
Lessons Learned and Future Outlook
While the event was a success, the operation provided valuable insights for future improvements. We noted that the final submission count was relatively low compared to the total number of published games, and that the need for enhanced mobile support remains a priority for our team.
Moving forward, HPP plans to expand interest in the HPP Hub and its AI functionalities through a variety of initiatives, including dApp development competitions, educational partnerships, and creator onboarding programs. Our goal is to convert this initial curiosity into sustained ecosystem growth, ultimately fostering a diverse range of AI applications built on the HPP L2 foundation.
Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this milestone!
