🧠 Brainrot Game Jam 2025

Theme: “You Are The Cosmetic”
Hosted by BrainrotGamez.com

Welcome to the first-ever Brainrot Game Jam — a week-long online game-making event where we challenge you to create something wild, weird, and brain-rotting… and win $$$ for it.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or this is your first jam, you're invited to join thousands of indie creators for a creative sprint full of strange ideas, cursed mechanics, and beautiful chaos.

🎯 THEME

The theme for this jam is:

🎩 3. "You Are the Cosmetic" 

Interpret it however you want. 

Progression isn’t about skills or stats — it’s about how ridiculous you look. Your outfit changes everything (gameplay, narrative, controls, etc). Great for unlockables, transformations, and absurd visuals.
