Update: Join Arcade Fighting Game Jam II --> https://itch.io/jam/fighting-game-jam-ii 

About:

The goal of AFGJ is to create an arcade-style fighting game. I started this jam because my love of Street Fighter II, Mortal Kombat, Samurai Shodown has compelled me to start thinking about making my own. At the moment there doesn't seem to be any fighting specific jams so I decided to fill the void. Thus, Arcade Fighting Game Jam was born!

Theme

The theme of this jam is… EXPIRATION

Feel free to interpret this as you wish.

Optional factors:

• Rainbow
• Shatter
• Giant

Guidelines:

• Must be a fighting game
• Must have head-to-head combat. 1-player vs CPU is ok, 2-player versus mode is encouraged.
  
• Open to any game engine
  
• Must be playable in a browser.
• Must incorporate the main theme into the gameplay. Optional factors may be used to spark your imagination.
• No NSFW content.
• Original assets (music, art, code, ui) should be made for this jam. 
• The use or modification of your own pre-made assets are allowed as long as
  (1) you or your teammates are the original creator and
  (2) mention in your game page which assets are reused or modified and where they are originally from.
  Repurposing old code snippets is acceptable within reason but if you're heavily borrowing from an existing game or framework, please mention it. Likewise with artwork, music, backgrounds, characters borrowed from your other creations is fine and could even be a nice crossover with your previous work—link to it so we can play it too. You're creating a universe. Audio is an exception. If you don't have access to original audio, it's ok to use free assets as long as you give credit and include links to where it comes from.

Each game will be judged on the following criteria:

• Gameplay (controls, fun factor)
  
• Graphics (art, animation, design)
• Audio (sfx, music)
• Originality/Innovation

Bonus points for:

• Gamepad support
• 2-players
• Using Godot Engine
  

Submission:

Submit your game early! Submissions will not be accepted once the deadline has passed. You may continually improve and revise your game during the rating period if you need to fix bugs or make adjustments based on user feedback.

Let the best fighting game win!
