Voting on the first-ever [Bevy Jam][bevy-jam] just finished! It was a
week-long event, where the goal was to make a game in
[Bevy Engine][bevy-engine], the free and open-source game engine
built in Rust. The theme was 'Unfair Advantage'.

#### [¿Quién es el MechaBurro?][mechaburro-itchio]
The [full results can be found on itch.io][bevy-jam-results]. Here
are the top five games:

#### 🥇 First Place: [Petty Party][petty-party]

![Petty Party logo](pettyparty.png)

[Petty Party][petty-party] is a Mario Party inspired board game,
in which you play against the world's worst opponent, who's
actively rigging the game against you.

The game was originally very hard to beat, so the devs balanced
the jam release fairly heavily in the player's favour - however,
if you beat the game, you can unlock the original difficulty
as a 'hard mode'!

The source for the game is available on [GitHub][petty-party-source].

![Chaz screenshot](chaz.png)

[Chaz] is a platform racing game, where you have to stay close to your
opponent in order to see where you're going. Beat them to the floating
heart to win - but be warned, once you do, they'll steal your moves!

### [godot-rust](https://github.com/godot-rust/godot-rust)

![godot-rust logo](godot-rust.png)

previous versions with more consistent naming, flatter module structure
and fewer redundancies.
