Welcome to our April Fools game jam, we're going to spend 48 hours creating games!

The theme is Pitch!
The second theme is Switch!

Everyone is welcome regardless of how much or how little experience you have.

The game jam will take place inside Abertay University in room 1521, if you can't make it you are free to participate online - just make sure to submit your game to the Itch.io page before the deadline.

Try to submit your game to the Itch.io jam page by Sunday 18:00 and we'll play as many games as we can until 21:00!
