In this fun article we'll take a look at the amazing JS13K game challenge. It is an annual coding competition where super talented JavaScript developers show off their games made with only 13kB of code or less.
We've chosen some of our favorite games from last year to share with you. Enjoy them as a tiny gaming break from work or as a source of coding inspiration!
OnOff
This is a challenging platformer with great design and fun music. Dodge spikes, jump over pits, and toggle between dimensions to complete all the 25 levels. The game also offers a cool level editor where you can create your own levels.
Everyone's sky
Everyone's sky offers the classic Asteroid style game but with an adventure and exploration RPG twist. You fly around space and its solar systems, contacting other civilizations and collecting resources. You can choose to complete missions peacefully, making allies, or just attack everything that comes in your way.
Underrun

Konnekt
This is a simple real-time-strategy game where a virus has infected some of your system's nodes and you need to clear them before they spread. The game is really addicting and the more you play, the harder it gets and the more nodes you have to deal with.
Super Chrono Portal Maker
An hommage to the original Super Mario games, this platformer offers 30 levels of run and jump action. Each level introduces more and more game mechanics, making the game super fun to play. There is also a level builder where you can create your own levels and share them with friends.
