Optional Theme:
Time.
A force of nature no humans could ever defy.
"Time never waits for us"
"Time is never on our side"
but what if... it is?
What if time is on our side?
What if time can be manipulated...
What if we can control time?
This is a jam about exploring the properties of time...
and to exploit it to its full potential.
Build a game that makes creative use of the properties of time.
Some (cliché) examples of time-manipulation/exploitation includes time travel, time loop, speeding up, slowing down, or stopping time, and precognition. This is NOT a full list and you are more than welcome to use others, or even a combination of others.
Game jams are about exploring your ideas, gaining experience, and just having some fun, so please don’t feel stressed about making a perfect, flawless game with no bugs whatsoever or focus on that one sprite animation that just does not look right. So please remember to have fun!
