Theme

The theme is: MIRRORS

Selecting a theme for the Jam is all on the community.

There are 3 phases to the theme selection process, Suggestions/Slaughter/Vote.

Phase 1: Suggestions

Each joiner can give up to 2 themes for yours and other games to be made around. 

This is done in the #theme-suggestion channel on the discord. Remember to put a little thought into it as you want them to make it past slaughter.

Phase 2: Slaughter

We bring it down to just 10 themes from all the great suggestions in the community. 

Phase 3: Vote

Lastly the final vote the last part before the actual event. 

The Top 10 vote is where you can vote for the final theme. The theme with the most upvotes wins.

Rules

1. The game must be built with Bolt in Unity (If you win and you don't have video/GIF evidence of the project, you will be required to submit the project files as evidence that the game is made with Bolt.) - It must be SFW

3. Online participation is allowed.

4. The project must be submitted on time.

- After the submission period is over, there will be a 1 week period to rate the games. Your game needs at least 5 ratings to be eligible for winning, so make sure you play a lot of games so your game will have a higher chance of getting rated!

- The top 3 highest-rated games will receive special prizes.

-  Other games will be featuring on our Discord Server and Milanote page. 

- In the end, everyone who managed to finish a game and have fun is a winner, this is what jams are all about
