Your jam game should be started & published during the jam time. Remixing from the community or collaborating is encouraged - just make sure your submission clearly fits the jam theme and was made for this jam.

Here are 6 rules to keep in mind:

1. Start fresh: Begin creating your game on or after March 17.
2. Publish on HypeHype by March 30 (21:00 UTC).
3. Add #BlockyJam to your game description.
4. You can submit multiple entries, but only one prize per creator/team.
5. Follow HypeHype's Community Guidelines.
6. Remixes are allowed but must be significantly different from the original.
   1. Note: Remixing your own games or drafts is not allowed. This is seen as circumventing the first rule.

Games that fail to adhere to the rules will be disqualified.
