Rules:

• Your game must be school appropriate
• You must not start making your game until the game jam starts
• Your game must be playable somehow on our computers. We cannot judge a game that can only be played on your laptop!
• Your team must be made of 1-4 Heart Lake students
• Your game must be made entirely by your team. Pre-made assets like art or code libraries are allowed, but must be noted in the "Assets Used" field when you submit your game.

Judging Criteria:

Your game will be judged by a panel of Hack Club execs, on the following three criteria.

• Creativity - How unique and interesting your idea is, and how well it fits the theme
• Gameplay - How in-depth your game is, and how fun it is to play
• Art - How good the visuals and sound effects are in your game

If your game is unfinished, feel free to submit it anyway! An unfinished game is better than no game.
