Game boy-like: Jam comes up with a simple idea; program a game that looks/feels/plays like a game boy.  Also, the Jam will have a theme, and it will be published as soon as it starts.

What does that mean? 

It is expected to see games with the technical and graphical limitations of a console from 30 years ago. No more than 4 colors on the screen at the same time, backgrounds and sprites in low resolution, very limited controls (A crosshead, button A, B Start and Select. And that's it).  

After all, good ideas come out of limitations. 

The game will be rated by anyone who sees and downloads it, in the following categories: 

Artistic Section: How to deal with the graphic limitation of the console so that it looks beautiful 

Sound Section: which includes both sound effects and soundtrack. 

Gameplay: Where the mechanics and controls of the game are valued. 

Theme: Where the application of the Jam theme is valued.

 And a special section called "Nostalgia". Where whoever values the game will decide how to rate this aspect.

 Remember to have fun.
