I'm seeing all of these games that doesn't even fit the theme of jam!?!?  Can we take care of this?

Happens in evey jam that I've seen. Usually the person running the contest kicks them out. I don't know if they intend to do that here and haven't gotten to it.

The specification is "Make any kind of game about Discs and / or Rooms." Pretty open to interpretation. I doubt they plan on being very harsh with the specifics. Most games have rooms.

I was wondering the same thing... 

There are several games that do not seem to have any relation to the topic of this jam. 

This is the first time I have participated in a game jam, so I don't know if this is normal. 

Looks strange...

It's normal. Don't worry about that XD

yeah! I saw a lot like that too. My game CD Room is really bordering the edge, but I contacted some of the developers and they said as long as it includes discs in rooms, you're good. So, of course, I took that out of context and made a puzzle game that has nothing to do with disc room, but it follows all of the rules. Sometimes, you just gotta think outside of the box.

That's true

but like there are A LOT that have nothing to do with the jam. I’m sure they’ll be disqualified. For example, my game Reflection has been in development for 3 months, and I’m not looking for it to get anything out of here, I just wanted to release it. Of course, I heavily fucked up the lighting on the second level, so I’m taking it off the jam anyway. But yeah, there are a whole lot. Then there’s the other “CD Room” that stole my name and idea 😭
