4MB Game Jam 2021

About

4MB Game Jam is a one month long game jam about creating a game that fits within four megabytes. This limitation challenges developers to come up with clever ways to store their program in the smallest way possible. Inspired by .kkrieger.

Cram as much in there as you can; it's only 4mb.
If you have any questions or wanna chill out with us, the Discord is at the bottom of the jam page. :))

No theme! You may start working on your game any time.
