Hello, world! The first edition of the BOOMKIT newsletter: what shipped, what's next, and the very first game jam.
boomkit() bootstrapping with zero config
The block API: sprite, pos, body, area, health and friends
Collision events, camera shake and screen flash

Performance: 10k objects at 60fps
We ran our first 48-hour jam with 3 themes to pick from. The community shipped 23 games. Standouts:
🏆 Bomb Voyage — one-button platformer
🥈 Fuse Fiesta — arcade dodge-em-up
🥉 Ka-Boom Kart — racing with exploding boosters
Every game was made with the blocks API — no engines, no boilerplate, just blocks.
The next jam is already being planned. Join the Discord to vote on the theme, share WIPs and get feedback in real time.
