Hi there,

This Jam is meant for people in my Game Dev Club at [secret] High School. However feel free to join if you somehow manage to find this jam and want to participate. 

This Jam is mainly a 9 DAY learning experience. Don't be ashamed if your game doesn't turn out as you'd imagined but do your best! However, keep in mind, this Jam was made so that you can make a simple but fun game. Limit how many ideas you have and don't get feature creep. You should try to end up with a small and likely replayable gameplay loop. Feel free to consider cool ideas, just don't go overboard. Each feature is an investment. 

don't try it

To get you started with ideas, here's the theme of the Jam:

Back 

              & 

                     Forth

Are you an out of control rubber ball? Must you repeat a path over and over? i dunno you tell me. Follow this theme at your own risk, it's completely up to you if you use it. You aren't rated or judged based on your adherence to the theme overall but if you want inspiration, consider it...

Tips: 

• For goodness sake please keep it simple
• If you're coming from my club, consider using the slide's I've made for help and design guidance
• Watch youtube video tutorials to learn 
• Just sit and think (if you need ideas)
• Ask me even (if you can)
• Plan and Leave extra time

it's very possible this theme will have like no games submitted but ya know....
