Make a game during 2025, submit it and publish it on itch.io! Simple as that!

You can make a game about anything, make any genre, use any game engine or framework, publish on any platform, work alone or in a team, it's your choice how you want to pursue your game-dev journey! You can even publish an existing game you've been working on as long as it has been developed only in 2025!

Go at your own pace!

Q&A:

Q: What is the submission limit? I mean if I manage to make for example 2 games during 2025, do I have to choose 1 of them to submit or can I submit both?

A: You can submit as many games as you want as long as they are made only in 2025, each game would be judged independently

Q: Can I upload 'electronic' games?

A: Yes, but please make them playable on itch.io as well!

Q: Can I work in a team?

A: Yes, you can work as in a big of a team as you want!

Q: Are you able to submit games you've submitted to a different GameJam?

A: Yes! As long as it follows the rules of this jam, primarily being made in 2025.

Q: What game engine can I use?

A: Any engine! Go wild! If you have no idea what to use, I'd recommend Godot 4. Just make sure the game can be playable on some platform.
