What is this about?

Your goal is to create your own fictional handheld game console.

• It can be realistic
• It can be something wild like a cyberpunk or fantasy device
• It can be big or small, simple or complex

Even console-like devices such as the Game & Watch and Tamagotchi count, since they have a screen and buttons and they're primarily for gaming.

What to submit

Create and submit an image of your handheld device! It can be a drawing, a 3D render, a fake magazine ad, that's up to you.

Videos are fine too, as long as they can be embedded here on itch.

Rules

For the sake of fairness:

1. All entries must be made for this jam, within the jam period.
2. You can submit multiple entries.
3. You can work in teams.
4. You can use third-party assets that you have the right to use (i.e. 3D kitbashing is okay)
5. Generative AI is not allowed except for non-creative work such as upscaling textures.
6. NSFW and sensitive topics are not allowed.

Scoring

This is a ranked jam with no prizes. Entries will be scored based on:

• Creativity
• Usability: How enjoyable it would be to use the device.
• Presentation: Quality of the art/writing.
• Theme: How well the submission fits the jam.
