# Welcome to FrikiAkari Games Presentation #1! 🎮✨
Our community is coming together to create! This is our very first official Game Jam—a space designed to challenge ourselves, have fun, learn, and bring amazing ideas to life in record time.
It doesn't matter if you are a programmer, artist, musician, working in a team, or if this is your first time trying to make a video game: **this is your place to experiment without fear!**

## 🛠️ Rules & Guidelines
To keep the event fair and fun for everyone, please follow these guidelines:
1. **Any Engine:** You can use any game engine you prefer (Godot, Unity, Construct, Unreal, etc.) or even code your game from scratch.
2. **Development Time:** All core code and design for the game must be created within the Jam's timeframe.
3. **Use of Assets:** Third-party assets (music, sound effects, sprites, etc.) are allowed as long as you have the rights or licenses to use them (and give proper credit on your game's page). 100% original content is highly appreciated!
4. **Target Platform:** We highly recommend exporting a **Web (HTML5)** version so more people can play and rate your project directly in their browsers, though PC builds (Windows/Linux/Mac) are also welcome.
5. **Respect:** Offensive, discriminatory, or explicit content will not be tolerated. Let's keep this a safe and friendly community space.

## ⭐ How will the games be rated?
Once the Jam ends, the voting phase will begin. Participants will be able to play and rate projects based on the following criteria:
* **Gameplay:** Is it fun to play? Are the controls responsive and smooth?
* **Use of Theme:** How creative and original is the game's take on the theme?
* **Graphics & Audio:** The art, sound effects, and music. Do they build a great atmosphere?
* **Originality:** Does it bring fresh mechanics, an innovative idea, or an unexpected twist?
