Create an offline game for Opera GX to never get bored when your WiFi is out
We all know the horror of bad online connections. Ever lost the game due to lag? Got kicked out from a server when your WiFi went crazy? The Internet is great when it works. But what if it doesn’t?
Opera GX [NASDAQ: OPRA], the world’s first web browser built specifically for gamers, today announced a challenge for the best in-browser offline game: the Opera GX Game Jam 2021.
‘When the internet is out, some browsers get on our nerves with dinosaurs or surfing games which only reminds gamers that without the internet we’re back to the stone age and can’t surf the web. We created the Opera GX Game Jam to call on all artists and creative gamers to make the offline experience fun,’ said Maciej Kocemba, Product Director of Opera GX.
The Opera GX Game Jam competition will give one winner the unique opportunity for their game to be played by millions in the Opera GX offline page. The top three artists will also win cash prizes of $3k, $7k and $10K. The winning game will gain the prestige of becoming the first playable game to ever feature in Opera GX, helping to entertain gamers during those rare offline moments that would otherwise make them cry.
The GX Game Jam is being hosted with GameMaker Studio 2 – the world’s leading 2D game development engine, and in collaboration with Game Jolt, one of the largest communities for games and the people who make and play them.
The best game will receive expert development support from the GameMaker team, before being unleashed within the Opera GX desktop browser. Once completed, it will also be promoted to Opera GX’s millions of users through the browser’s GX Corner and across the social accounts of Opera GX, GameMaker Studio 2 and Game Jolt.
The Opera GX Game Jam will be open for submissions starting on the 29th of July, when the theme for the event will be revealed.
The expert jury includes:
-
Maciej Kocemba (Opera GX Product Director)
-
Russell Kay (GameMaker Studio 2 CTO)
-
Yaprak DeCarmine (Game Jolt co-founder and CEO)
-
GameMaker game creators:
-
Johan Vinet (Canari Games – LUNARK),
-
David Galindo (AKA chubigans – Cook, Serve Delicious!)
-
dietzribi (Toodee and Topdee)
-
Artists and game creators can register their interest, receive a free GameMaker Studio 2 licence for the duration of the jam, and read the terms and conditions by visiting this LINK.

The first six months of 2026 have marked a period of strong growth for the studio. Compared to H1 2025, 1spin4win recorded a 47% increase in GGR, while bet count rose by 46.66%.
The provider also saw a significant increase in player activity. In H1 2026, player count surged by 59.06%, and new player count jumped by 50.15% compared to the first half of last year. These numbers reflect 1spin4win’s ability to keep global audiences engaged through new mechanics, regular game releases, and simple gameplay.
Partner growth has also been an important part of this success.
