You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Spirit of the Spring

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Healing Waters: The game's story is about some hot springs/thermal baths rumored to have miraculous healing powers.

2 - Alchemy Puzzle: The game includes a puzzle where the player is supposed to create a potion by following a recipe.

3 - Sapphire Necklace: A sapphire necklace is a significant item in the game.
