Welcome to the inaugural Aristos Interactive Jam!
Theme
Let the projectiles fly.
The theme for this jam is SHMUPS.
A SHMUP (shoot ’em up) covers a wide range of games. Vertical, horizontal, bullet hell, arcade inspired, or something entirely different. Interpret the theme in your own way and build something fun.
If you want an extra challenge, try pushing your game to render as many projectiles, effects, or enemies on screen as possible while keeping performance stable. Treat it like a personal benchmark, not a requirement.
Description
Step into the arena and bring an idea to life.
This beginner-friendly jam is all about creating a fun, playable game you’re proud to show off. Over the course of the weekend, challenge yourself to build a simple but engaging gameplay loop, something that feels good, something that exists because you made it.
All tools are welcome.
AI assistance is welcome.
Premade assets are welcome.
What matters most is finishing a playable experience and learning along the way.
At the end of the jam, we will play some of the game entries and upload a video to YouTube celebrating your hard work!
Fortes fortuna adiuvat.
