A game jam is an event where you create a game from scratch in a short period of time (like a weekend) based on a given theme. Themes are suggested and chosen by the community. 

Work alone or with a team (up to 5 members total) to make a small video game of any genre based on the given theme using any tools you want and submit before the deadline!

For this jam, themes will be suggested and voted on by the participants. The theme will be announced at the start of the jam on Friday on our Discord server and will also be updated here. Theme voting will take place one day earlier . Once the theme is announced, participants can work on their game ideas for the next 48 hours.

The theme for the jam is:
