Indies VS PewDiePie Game Jam Voting Begins

The inaugural Indies VS PewDiePie game jam officially ended Monday, November 24, and now, it's time to vote for the best games.

Independent game developers were invited to submit a work on Game Jolt surrounding the theme "fun to play, fun to watch," made within a 72-hour period.

While Pewds is best known for his horror game play, in the jam FAQ, he encouraged game makers to create a game that's "silly, wacky, frustrating, bizarre, or hilarious. Make us laugh!"

Judging is left up to the community, though you will need to create a free Game Jolt account, if you don't have one already, to cast your votes.

Lucky voters have a total of 902 submissions to choose from, and PewDiePie will play the top 10 rated games on his channel.

To keep up with live updates as the jam goes on, tune in to the hashtag #indiesvspewdiepie on Twitter. You can hear the pleas of game developers for votes.

Voting for this game jam ends December 1st at 12:00 AM (EST).

Watch Pewds explain the jam for himself, and tell you about his shiny new Golden Joystick award!
