Niagara College students will be putting the finishing touches on a video game they just started making this past Friday.

It's for the Global Game Jam... an event in which teams from around the world have only 48 hours to develop a fully functioning video game.

Once the game is done links to all of the completed games will be shared world wide so everyone can try the games.

This is Niagara College's 5th time participating in the world wide event.

The goal of the event is to encourage creativity and to meet new people.
