Hey gang!
Super Friendship Arcade are hosting what promises to be a super fun jam on Saturday the 11th. Hope to see some of you there. Please bring along some new friends as well! We really want to see these events as great jumping-off points to get more and more people into game design. So please invite some people from outside MGSA and typical gamer circles. Lets try make this community as diverse and amazing as we can!

Super Friendship Arcade, South Africa’s favourite alternative video game party, is gearing up for another night of smashed pixel and melted minds! Join us in preparing for our next night by jamming with us on Saturday the 11th of July!
The theme for this jam is: 2 players, 2 buttons! Team up with friends and make a two player game that gives each player 1 button only! All genres welcome! Custom controllers encouraged!*
There’ll be a secret ingredient in the jam, to be revealed once we’re all together on the morning of the 11th!
The jam will run from 10am till 7pm and take place at the lovely Cafe Viva so there will be no shortage of delicious food, coffee and beer! The jam will end with a short presentation, where you can show off and discuss your masterpiece or epic train smash.
We want our community to be a safe space where EVERYONE is welcome (except dicks)! Failing is just a healthy part of challenging yourself, so don’t worry if you’ve never made a game before, or don’t know anyone else. The super friends will be happy to help you out! All you need is heart!
Running order:
10AM – arrive at Cafe Viva, reveal secret ingredient, drink coffee, form teams, discuss ideas!
11AM – JAAAAAAAMMMM!
7PM – Creation presentation!
RSVP here!
* – If you’re the crafty type, please feel free to start working on controllers before the jam. If you’re not, don’t worry, we’ll have some fun creations that everyone is welcome to use for their games!

@raithza - dude, that game is so neat! I'd really love to see some similarly cooperative games come out of the jam. Thank so much for this great inspiration!
Also there is Hype Snake: http://www.unicorn7.org/games/game/209/ (which has to be played to be believed, and is co-operative, which is nice for a SFA setting I think... we played it at Amaze 2014 with two mallets)
Thanks for organizing it!

There's just two buttons to control it (on either side of a computer keyboard). You need two players.
There is no win state, just like real cricket, if you play it with a friend perhaps restart the game once someone as reached 100 points (i.e. the maximum anyone has ever scored in real life cricket).
@Jaysong Did the wonderful ambiance and authentic cricket sounds. The graphics are dead simple, and there's definitely room for higher fidelity cricket visuals. I think the sounds really sell the realism that I was going for.
