The Jam has ended! We had a great time playing randomly selected entries on stage at Fantastic Arcade!
See you again next year!

What is DUPLICADE?

We want you to make one (or more) short, player vs. player games, 30 seconds, win or lose, just like last year's BARFCADE, but this year, we want you to populate the outlaw flea markets of our minds with knockoffs and bootlegs of other games that are just weird enough to not get you sued.

We'll feed all these creations into our custom game launcher and then watch on October 1st as two contestants go head-to-head playing your games at Fantastic Arcade while trying to guess which famous characters and titles you DUPLICADED.

TO ENTER THE JAM:

• Your game must be a head-to-head simultaneous two-player game.
• Your game must run on Windows (sorry!) and use WASD + SPACE for player one and ARROW-KEYS + ENTER for player two as input in order to be considered for inclusion on the DUPLICADE "cabinet."
• It must have a short duration, 30 seconds or less, resulting in a WIN or LOSE for each player. (We'll be keeping score offstage.).
• After the match is over the game must QUIT AUTOMATICALLY.
• The game must tread dangerously into the intellectual property of an existing game or game franchise, but be cleverly altered and culturally mangled enough to not be worth the effort to sue. (Seriously: don't get sued. Also, it's funnier the further you get from actually ripping off your source).
• Your jam must reference this year's secret theme, announced on Day 1: TWINS.








• You will have plenty of time to work on your game, and you may enter MULTIPLE GAMES! As many as you want!
