Rules and deliverables

Participation rules

  • Teams should consist of beginners; solo entries and unlimited team sizes are allowed.
  • Develop during the jam window. No post-deadline gameplay/content additions; minor fixes are allowed.
  • Use licensed free assets with source links and credits, while keeping most work original.
  • Any engine/language is allowed with keyboard/mouse play, an itch upload or trusted host, and preferably a browser build.
  • Keep content appropriate for general audiences. Generated code, ideas and text are permitted; generated audio and visuals are prohibited.
  • Beginner status is broad; no commercial releases, less than five years experience and no game-industry employment are guidelines.
  • Entry fees and timezone are unverified; rewards are a Discord role and custom emote.
  • Only the submitter needs to join; tag teammates as contributors to enable their voting.
  • Avoid nudity, suicide and ongoing armed conflicts; content must suit a general audience.
