Some friends and I decided to host our own game jam at my apartment, where I came up with a silly idea titled "A Game About Literally Doing Your Taxes". We worked on the game for 48 hours with me taking care of the main character, backgrounds, and planning the gameplay loop. To our surprise, it gained a pleasant amount of praise and attention. Since we launched the game to itch.io in December, it has since amassed over 20 thousand downloads and even got the attention of popular Youtubers such as Markiplier and Jacksepticeye (each with over 20 million subscribers). It was not only curated by itch.io's "Fresh Games" tab, but it was also one of the most popular games on their site for over a month. At one point, it was the #2 game on their Popular tab.
