2. Invited Judges — 25 Points

Five invited judges will each score your project out of 5 points after watching your presentation.

  • Presentation length is exactly 3 minutes. It is strict, so don't rush and don't run over.
  • How each judge awards their 5 points is entirely up to them.

3. Project Ratings — 25 Points

Each criterion is worth 5 points:

  • Game Design — fun and engagement
  • Gameplay Mechanics
  • Visual Design
  • Audio & Sound Design
  • Replayability & Polish
