There’s a wild breadth of remixes to check out over on thegame jam’s entries page, from minor edits and people’s first projects to games that could be standalone gems in their own right.

It’s just a shame that I can’t seem to find Cukia Kimani’s brilliant blade drifter fromlast week’s Screenshot Saturday Sundays. While I fundamentally hate the idea of prizes in game jams, Devolver are handing out a bundle of their own games to the 10 most popular entries, with a saw-shaped vinyl soundtrack for the final winner.
They’re all free, and many of them are playable in your browser, so why not spend this spookiest of nights figuring out how many ways you can chop yourself in half? You might even find yourself thinking up a few ideas for your own deadly saw chambers.
