CloneJamIvan runs June 19-21! Join us and make some action, adventure, or pixelated horror inspired games!

It Needs a Heart to Be Opened

Before there was Game Jolt Next, there was Five Night’s at Freddy’s fan games. Before there was FNaF fan games, there was nothing. Before that, there was Imscared. What’s Imscared?

Well…

Inspiring tons of fan art, pages of let’s plays, and at least one cosplay, Imscared is the father of its own mini genre of pixelated horror. And Ivan Zanotti is the mastermind behind it all. CloneJamIvan is a game jam running from June 19 to 22, inspried by Ivan’s games.

Hidden Jems

Yet Zanotti hasn’t only created Imscared. He’s published 6 more games on Game Jolt, and they aren’t all horror either! In case you’re unacquainted, here’s a brief sample platter.

Collapse, Collide

Collapse, Collide is a short platformer game that Ivan made in 4 days.

Prelude to Finale

A lowrezjam game, Prelude to Finale is only 32x32 pixels large.

NothingElse

And to top off this micro-list, NothingElse is another horror game. Yet, this one is sidescrolling and features a different style art from Imscared.

CloneJamIvan Is Coming Up; Are You Ready?

CloneJamIvan is looming very close, breathing down your neck. If you can find any time between June 19 and June 21, you should make a game inspired by some of Ivan’s work.

If you’d like a deeper look into Ivan’s mind, here’s his GameJolt feature developer interview
