We are so excited to announce our first community Web Game Challenge!
Running through September 29, the Web Game Challenge will be an opportunity to exercise your creativity, show off your skills, and have fun!
Long-time DEV member Andrzej Mazur will be joining us as a special guest judge to kick off this challenge. Andrzej is heavily involved in the gaming community and has opened an indie studio, Enclave Games, created the js13kGames competition, initiated the Gamedev.js community, and more!
For this challenge, we will have two prompts: one that involves building a game, and one that explains how. Each prompt will have one winner, and each winner will receive:
- A 6-month DEV++ Membership
- An exclusive DEV badge of honor
- A gift from the DEV Shop.
As with all challenges, all participants with a valid submission will receive a completion badge for their efforts.
Let’s get gaming!

Good luck everyone!
Can't wait to play through these submissions!
This is going to be a fun one!!
I think that the game is a great idea, however I think the topic "Aliens" incites fear and mockery (because we laugh at things that scare us so that we are less afraid). Why do different things have to be banalized and treated with disrespect, and even given a special name called "Aliens" because people are so afraid of different things? Maybe coding something could be beneficial to come to peace with the concept of "Aliens". Thank you for creating this challenge.
Interesting. Just to clarify, I see that you italicized the word Aliens for the topic. Does this refer to the concept of aliens in general, or must the game somehow be related to the retro game Aliens? Good luck to all participants!
The concept of aliens in general! Will remove the italicizing, thanks for letting us know that was creating confusion.
Nice challenge, I'm in!
