⚠ NOTE to entrants: ⚠ Especially if you're new to using itch, we strongly recommend you submit an entry (without a game to it) before the jam ends!
Consider doing a clearly-labeled "Pre-submission", so you know what the process will be like before the last second! (You can always add the game later, or remove it if you end up not submitting)

The topic is decided on the day of, and announced in the first 15 minutes (usually less) of the live video. It will then be pinned in the live chat, and added to the title of this itch.io page!

----------------------------------------------- 

 Every FRIDAY on YouTube, Hyper Game Dev goes LIVE to broadcast the channel host's game jam attempt, along with reactions to every entry that comes in during that show, including late submissions from the previous week.

If you're having trouble submitting to itch, try adding it on our Discord! (If it's a file, friend request Lyzurly and send it to her!)

This jam is all about support and love -- that is, there are no rankings or critiques involved. The purpose is to help improve our iteration skills and learn about managing development expectations on the fly, under a time pressure.

Whatever you make will only be celebrated! Have fun and keep trying -- You'll be amazed by how much better you get, and how helpful it is when working on longer-term projects, too!
