In New Zealand, we have a term for your companions with whom you share your lockdown - they are your “bubble”.
We believe games have the potential to make the world a slightly better place and support people at a time when they really need help.

All these games are 100% free with no ads.
"#JoinOurBubble is our answer to the question; how do we want our actions to be perceived a year from now, when the dust settles and there is time to reflect on what happened in the year 2020?"
Jon Beattie,
Co-Founder at JaffaJam
We aim to create a remote “bubble” with fellow like-minded developers to make games for these extraordinary times.
Make your games freeWe know how generous many of you have been in the last few weeks and we applaud any team that has been able to give away or de-monetise any titles to help the billion-plus people around the world currently in lockdown. We also appreciate this is not the time to threaten revenues - the last thing anyone needs is a company risking jobs - but if there are older titles or games that can be de-monetised simply and without damaging your team, then let us know - we would love to list your title here, and let people know.

Make new games that helpWe’ve switched over our resources for the time being to make games that either help relieve stress or anxiety, or assist home learning for kids whose education has been disrupted massively overnight. If you can, please join us. If you can spare the time to prototype or develop a game that fits these two purposes, we want to help.

Use our technology - if that helps youAt JaffaJam, we developed a Unity framework called “BubbleGum” (funnily enough it was called that long before the idea of lockdown “bubbles”) to help us prototype rapidly and produce highly polished games in a short time. BubbleGum is a flexible modular system for integrating common and complex functionality for in-game systems such as procedural-generation, music mixers, localization, character selection, and achievements. If this would help you make games that either help relieve stress or anxiety, or assist home learning for kids, then we will share these tools with you for free and support you in their use. You can also use our Cloud Services platform to help game management, inventory, leaderboards, achievements and so on.
