EnglishWhat Genres and Game Jams Are EmptyButtons' Projects Associated With?
Updated
EmptyButtons' itch.io catalog mixes small JRPGs, adventure games, and a utility tool, and several entries are explicitly labeled as game jam submissions. The page evidence ties projects to Godot Wild Jam 62 and the 32bit Holiday Jam 2021, with genre tags including Role Playing and Adventure.
Genres represented on the page
The profile lists projects under a few distinct categories rather than a single specialty:
- Role Playing / JRPG: Nutcracker 64 is described as "A JRPG made for the 32bit Holiday Jam 2021," and BeeQuest is described as "A JRPG game made for the 32bit game jam." Both carry the Role Playing tag.
- Adventure: Caves of Arengium is listed with the Adventure tag.
- Tool / utility: Map Generator is described as "A tool for generating cave like maps," which is a development utility rather than a playable game.
- Jam prototype: ProtectThePumpkins is described as "A game made for Godot Wild Jam 62."

| BeeQuest | JRPG (Role Playing) | 32bit game jam |
| Map Generator | Tool (cave-like map generation) | Not stated |
| Caves of Arengium | Adventure | Not stated |
| Psyching Out That Bear | Listed project (no genre stated) | Not stated |
What the jam associations tell you
Two patterns stand out for anyone deciding what to try first:
- The JRPG entries are jam-scoped. Nutcracker 64 and BeeQuest were both built for 32bit-themed jams, so expect short, experimental scope rather than a long campaign.
- The tool is separate from the games. Map Generator is a cave-map utility, useful if you want a starting point for level layout rather than something to play.
The page excerpt does not state genres for Psyching Out That Bear, and it gives no jam context for Map Generator or Caves of Arengium — treat those as unconfirmed rather than assuming a category.
How to use this if you're choosing what to play
- Want a role-playing experience: start with Nutcracker 64 or BeeQuest, keeping in mind their jam origins suggest compact play sessions.
- Want a short experimental game: ProtectThePumpkins (Godot Wild Jam 62) fits that profile.
- Want an adventure game: Caves of Arengium is the tagged option.
- Want a development tool: Map Generator is the only utility listed.
For current availability, download options, or platform requirements, check each project page directly — the profile excerpt does not include those details.
