Theme

Simple to play. Hard to stop.

This jam is about strategy games with an addictive game loop:  games you can understand in seconds, but keep replaying because one small decision changes everything.

We’re especially excited about games that: - Are easy to learn (no long tutorials) - Create meaningful choices with simple mechanics - Encourage replayability (scores, runs, escalating difficulty) - Feel good to fail and retry
