AO Game Jam, the first large-scale game development competition in the AO ecosystem, was co-hosted by AO Games and Forward Research. The competition attracted 83 teams, with 43 submissions, and three projects emerged as the top winners: Dumverse, DumDumUp!, and HANG OUT.

Let’s dive into the unique features of these on-chain game projects.

First Place: Dumverse

Dumverse is a turn-based PvP adventure game on AO, developed by Cherie, the founder of DumDumz. Players take turns strategizing their moves, with options such as using weapons to attack, defending against enemies, utilizing items or equipment to boost their stats, or unleashing special skills to gain an edge.

The game features eight shops:

These areas provide rich content for players to explore. Using the $DUMZ token, players can purchase armor, weapons, food, and other essential items to enhance their performance in the game.

DumDumz NFT atomic asset holders enjoy exclusive perks in-game, such as access to unique shops, mini-games, extra resources, and health boosts, giving them an advantage in battle and survival.

Second Place: DumDumUp!

DumDumUp! is a jumping game on AO, developed by MYSTIC (@Gurshabad90). Players aim to climb as high as possible by controlling their character's jumps. The game allows users to customize movement sensitivity for better control. Players can earn unique rewards (atomic assets) by completing climbing challenges and trade them in the Bazar marketplace, enhancing the game experience. The game also includes a leaderboard, showcasing players' rankings in real time and encouraging competition.
