Theme:

"Upgrade"

You can interpret the theme however you want. GL HF

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 30-year-old console. 

  • No more than 4 colors on screen at a time. 
  • Low resolution backgrounds and sprites Resolution of 160 x 144 pixels in 10:9 (Or in 1:1 aspect ratio).
  • Sound and music in 8 Bits.
  • Very limited controls (A D-pad, A button, B Home and Select. And that's it).

 After all, good ideas come from 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.
