Hello everyone!
With the new update now in your hands, I want to take the next step in building the world of KAZ- and I want to do it with you. I’ve always been inspired by our players' creativity, and one of my main goals with KAZ was to make it a hub of creativity for artists! So, I’m officially launching the Community Theme Showcase!
This is your chance to get your ideas directly into the game. We are looking for gameplay concepts and visual themes that push the limits of style! Whether you're an artist or a high-score grinder with a killer idea for a new hazard, we want to see what you've got. Submission period: Feb 13-28 11:59 pm PST, 2026
We want to invite you to share your unique vision and bring new worlds to KAZ. Our goal is to grow the game through collaboration and celebrating the creativity of our community!
You can take a look at the existing KAZ themes for inspiration!
The Prizes ($600 Total Pool) We will select 4 themes as winners:
🥇 1st prize: $250
🥈 2nd prize: $150
🥉 3rd prize: $100
