The BenBonk game jam is a game jam hosted by the YouTuber and game developer BenBonk. Contestants will have 72 hours to make a game from scratch, while implementing a theme announced at the start of the jam. Winners, and some of the best games will be featured on the BenBonk YouTube channel. You can join the discord here - https://discord.com/invite/benbonk, and check out my YouTube channel here - https://www.youtube.com/BenBonk.

The theme is... Two Sides

All games will be peer voted after the jam has ended, upon 5 categories. Additionally my favorite game of the jam will be known as "BenBonk's Choice".

Overall - How did the game come together overall, and how was the experience while playing?

Gameplay - How good was the gameplay? Was it fun? 

Visuals - How were the art and animations in the game? Was there a good use of visual effects and polish?

Audio - How was the music and sound effects in the game. Did they enhance the player experience?

Theme - How well did the game fit the theme, and was the use of the theme creative and original?

1. Make the core game within the time period, you can use scripts and assets you have created before but make the actual game within the time period allotted.

2. If you are going to use any public, or non original assets, please credit them properly.

3. Please do not make any NSFW or extremely inappropriate games.

4. You may work solo, or in a team.
