Welcome to the GDC

πŸŽ‰ March/April Game Jam πŸŽ‰

Theme

Multiplayer & Couch Co-Op!! πŸ«ΈπŸ«·

This theme is based upon the fact that this game jam REQUIRES more than one member to be part of the team. You can create any type of game under any genre, but it must incorporate some sort of multiplayer and/or couch co-op component within the game. This theme does not mean that you must have online servers or access, the game can also be playable on one laptop, ex: Fireboy and Watergirl.
