	'''~~[[Wikipedia:~~Game Jolt~~\|GameJolt]]~~''' is a social community platform for video games~~, gamers,~~ and content creators~~. It was founded in 2002~~ by David DeCarmine~~.

Some examples include [[Google.exe]], [[Sonic.exe]], and [[I HATE YOU.exe]].		'''Gamejolt''' (titled '''Game Jolt''') is a social community platform for video games and content creators by David DeCarmine on January 1, 2004. The platform has over 4 million monthly users.

	~~== Website content ==~~		''Game Jolt'' is considered a powerhouse for the indie scene, where developers can upload [[games]] for [[wikipedia:Microsoft Windows\|Microsoft Windows]] and [[applications\|mobile devices]]. It functions as much more than a store; it’s a social hub where users engage with a variety of interactive content, from livestreams and chat rooms to community feeds inspired by [[YouTube]].
	~~The logo~~ is ~~positioned at~~ the ~~top of the page, the search bar is centrally located~~, and ~~there is~~ a ~~"Get App" button, along~~ with a "Login" and "Sign Up" button. The main page encourages the user to sign up if they are logged out or do not already have an account, including the authorization to sign in with Google. An animated, randomly selected image can also be seen in the background of ~~the page. The key sections include "Store" (also known as games), "Site guidelines", "Creators", "Merch", "About"~~, and ~~"Help/FAQs"~~.

	~~The "Store" section allows~~ users to ~~browse games~~, ~~hashtags~~, and categories~~, which are categorized under "~~Featured", "Hot", "Best", and "New". The ~~"Site guidelines" outline the community rules and guidelines. The "Creators" page allows users to "Become a Game Jolt Creator". "Merch" redirects users to~~ the [https://www.redbubble.com/people/gamejolt/shop ~~official~~ Redbubble ~~page~~]~~. The "~~About~~" section provides an overview of~~ the site~~, detailing its purpose and features,~~ and ~~the "Help/FAQs" section addresses a wide range of frequently asked questions about the platform, providing answers to common queries~~.		==Website design==
			For guest users, they can navigate through the main menu to find sections like ''Store'', ''Site Guidelines'', ''Creators'', ''Merch'', ''About'', and ''Help/FAQs''. In the ''Store'', you can find [[games]] using hashtags or categories like ''Featured'', ''Hot'', ''Best'', and ''New''. The player can also visit the official [https://www.redbubble.com/people/gamejolt/shop Redbubble shop] through the ''Merch'' link or use the ''About'' and ''Help'' pages to learn how the site works and get support.

	~~'''[[Afraid]]''' is a screamer game developed by ''NexyusProductions'' (@NexyusNex) and published to ''Gamejolt'' on July 14~~, ~~2014.

			One of the most influential early [[creepypasta]] titles was [[Sonic.exe]], released in August 2012 by MY5TCrimson. The game was based on a written story that was notoriously removed from the Creepypasta Wiki. After its launch on ''Game Jolt'', it was covered by numerous English-speaking [[YouTube]]rs, gaining millions of international views and spawning an entire subgenre of ".exe" horror games (such as [[I HATE YOU.exe]]) that became a pillar of the platform.

	~~'''~~[[~~Pong~~.~~EXE~~]]~~'''~~ is ~~a screamer game created by RobBoberty in 2015. It was inspired by the classic 1970s video game~~ [[wikipedia:~~Pong~~\|~~''Pong''~~]]. ~~The player must compete against a computer-controlled paddle on~~ the ~~right side~~ of the ~~screen~~, and ~~the objective is to score 10 points before the computer wins~~. ~~Each time a goal is scored~~, ~~a series of strange events occur in~~ the ~~background, including flashing yellow squares, a brief appearance of a creepy clown accompanied by a laugh,~~ the ~~paddle palette doubling in size,~~ and ~~more. Once the player scores 10 points, a flurry of screamer pictures appears, such as a face-swapped image of a person~~ and ~~a kitten~~, ~~and a man without eyes. An echoing scream accompanies these images~~ as the ~~game cuts to a black screen, followed by the credits. There is also a~~ "~~Kid Mode~~" ~~difficulty within the game. In this version, all screamers are replaced with cats~~.		Aside from [[.exe]] games, the most iconic genre on Game Jolt is [[wikipedia:Five Nights at Freddy's\|Five Nights at Freddy]]'s (FNaF).

	'''~~[[Hotel Mario 6]]~~'''~~, also known as~~ '''~~Hotel Mario 666~~''' was a [[screamer]] [[game]] with a similar to [[Luna Game]]. As of 2017, the game was either deleted by its creator or taken down for an unknown reason. The only controls involve the arrow keys for moving and jumping; the movement speed is also notably slower and the game has crude graphics. Mario will come across 11 mushroom platforms and will encounter Peach after getting past them, dying will result in an image of Mario with an extremely loud scream, and then opens 2 text files and an image. Once the player gets close enough to Peach, static noise will interrupt the BGM. Touching Peach will result in a normal image of CDI-Peach from the ''Hotel Mario'' cutscenes for up to 10 seconds. This persists for another 9 seconds, when the image zooms in, showing Zalgofied Peach's eyes accompanied by the same scream from [[K-fee commercials]]. Later on, a visibly scared Goomba appears, getting close to it causing the game to crash, and trying to relaunch the application results in an image of CDI-Mario appearing.		*'''Official website''': https://gamejolt.com/

	'''[[Pong.EXE]]''' is a screamer game created by RobBoberty in 2015. It was inspired by the classic 1970s video game [[wikipedia:Pong\|''Pong'']]. The player must compete against a computer-controlled paddle on the right side of the screen, and the objective is to score 10 points before the computer wins. Each time a goal is scored, a series of strange events occur in the background, including flashing yellow squares, a brief appearance of a creepy clown accompanied by a laugh, the paddle palette doubling in size, and more. Once the player scores 10 points, a flurry of screamer pictures appears, such as a face-swapped image of a person and a kitten, and a man without eyes. An echoing scream accompanies these images as the game cuts to a black screen, followed by the credits. There is also a "Kid Mode" difficulty within the game. In this version, all screamers are replaced with cats.		'''[[Pong.EXE]]''' is a screamer game created by RobBoberty in 2015.

	'''[[Hotel Mario 6]]''', also known as '''Hotel Mario 666''' was a [[screamer]] [[game]] with a similar to [[Luna Game]]. As of 2017, the game was either deleted by its creator or ~~got~~ taken down for an unknown reason. The only controls involve the arrow keys for moving and jumping; the movement speed is also notably slower and the game has crude graphics. Mario will come across 11 mushroom platforms and will encounter Peach after getting past them, dying will result in an image of Mario with an extremely loud scream, and then opens 2 text files and an image. Once the player gets close enough to Peach, static noise will interrupt the BGM. Touching Peach will result in a normal image of CDI-Peach from the ''Hotel Mario'' cutscenes for up to 10 seconds. This persists for another 9 seconds, when the image zooms in, showing Zalgofied Peach's eyes accompanied by the same scream from [[K-fee commercials]]. Later on, a visibly scared Goomba appears, getting close to it ~~causes~~ the game to crash and trying to relaunch the application results in an image of CDI-Mario appearing.
