Welcome, to Clicker Jam!
In this jam, you goal is to make a game in a clicker(also known as incremental) genre, in a week.
What are incremental games?
To put it simply - You do simple actions (most of the times it's clicking), and numbers rise. Incremental games also often include idle elements and upgrades. If you want a great example of an incremental game, check out Cookie Clicker, Candy Box 2 or Antimatter Dimensions.
Deadline
Your deadline is on 13th April exactly 10 days from the start, but you also get 3 extra hours in case you miss the deadline by a bit or don't manage to submit in time.
Theme
The theme is - Another direction
Feel free to interpret and bend the theme however you want.
Ranking
You will be ranking each other's games based on following criterias:
Idea - Rate the concept, was it good, or bad?
Graphics - How does the game look?
Sounds (Music included) - How well does it sound?
Fun - How fun is it actually to play?
Theme - How was the theme interpreted?
And based on these 5 criterias you will also rank how the game did overall.
The ranking period will last 7 days from the end of submission period and by the end of ranking the winner will be decided.

FAQ
Q: Can I use free assets?
A: Yes you can! Just make sure you have the rights to use them. Most free assets can require you crediting you, which you should do.
Q: Is EVERYTHING allowed?
A: Mostly... Keep in mind that other people will be playing your games. Apart from that don't forget to follow Itch.io's Terms of Service.
Q: Is the theme mandatory?
A: No! But, it's one of the criterias when rating and it could affect the overall rating of your game significantly.
Q: Can I start early?
A: Yep! The thing with this is that it's a sort of double-edged sword. You can start early and make your game, and polish it a lot, but if you want to get a higher rank you would need to incorporate the theme in some way. But if you start when the theme is revealed then you can base your game around the theme from the start.
