The winning team really represented what this game jam was all about.
2 young game developers, 1 cancer biologist, 1 artist and 2 IT experts took on the challenge to work together and learnt something from each other.

Thanks to CanCELLed you might learn something new, too!

CanCELLed is the winning prototype @jamthemess, the game jam hosted by @cardiffuni & @cardiffmet with the support of @wellcometrust & @BLSCardiffUni
