Welcome to the Degressive Progression Game Jam! Most games are about starting weak and growing into an unstoppable god. We’re turning that entirely on its head. In this jam, your mission is to design a game where players start completely overpowered, but gradually lose their strength, abilities, or resources until they are left with nothing.
How will your players survive when their own growth is working against them? Show us your best take on losing power!
RULES:
- Engine & Tools: Use whatever engine or assets you are legally allowed to use. Just make sure to credit external assets!
- Originality: The core gameplay and code should be built during the jam period. Highly discourage the use of Ai-generated assets.
- Platform: Web-playable (HTML5) builds are highly recommended so judges can easily try your game, but desktop builds are welcome too.
Judging Criteria Entries will be judged by our panel of hosts based on:
- Theme Usage: How creatively did you handle the "losing power" mechanic?
- Fun Factor: Is the gameplay engaging despite (or because of) the degradation? Is it highly polished and free of bugs?
- Innovation: Did you approach the concept in a unique way?
In total, your scores will be ranked out of 15, with each criteria above being out of 5 respectively.
