I participated in the 2013 Global Game Jam with many other folks from IGDA-TC. I teamed up with Will Buck and Scott Lembcke to make a game called Operation Party.
Operation Party is a realtime multiplayer party game, inspired heavily by our collective admiration of the incredibly fun game Space Team. Our game was built in HTML5 with reasonable support across desktop, iOS, and Android making it pretty accessible for a large group to play together in a room. The server is written with Node.js, and the networking is done with Socket.IO (a wrapper for WebSockets.)
Will and I focused on the game engine and networking, and Scott put together some really silly and fun interactive widgets (that play best on a touch screen). Barry helped a ton by cranking out the artwork for us. Not too shabby for a weekend's work!
The code is available on GitHub.

Ludum Dare is the thrice annual competition to make a game by yourself from scratch in 48 hours. The December 2012 theme was: "You are the Villain." I made a game that plays like Pipe Dream, but you lay down train tracks trying to maximize the number of goats tied to train tracks that you can run over. Why goats? Well, for the first time LD had a special silly bonus theme modifier, and it was goats.
Anyway, why don't you play my game and let me know what you think!
And here are some more Ludum Dare 25 games to check out, also made by people from Minnesota:

Narwhal Knights is a massively multiplayer networked game of jousting, flying narwhals. I made this game in 48 hours with Team Watermelon Sauce for the 2012 Node.js Knockout competition and was awarded winner in the Utility/Fun category. My teammates were Paul Armstrong and Jesse Mullan.
The game is written in JavaScript using the Impact engine. The server and realtime multiplayer component are built with Node.js and WebSockets via Socket.io.
Narwhal Knights is currently offline, but you can watch a gameplay video on YouTube.

I made a game in 48 hours for the 24th Ludum Dare challenge. The theme was "Evolution." I made a game where you play as Darwin's Ghost and you have to rearrange the fossil record.
How about you give it a try!
