The Insanity Jam

In this jam, nothing makes sense.

That's the theme and that's how this jam works. Instead of making a really good, polished game... make a game that looks like it went through the washing machine and dryer.


How do you make a game that doesn't make sense?!

Very simple: Laziness.

Be a lazy developer and use what would normally be temporary developer art as art for the final product. Reuse assets from older games. Use your crappy paint application on your computer. Copy images from google images. Just make sure to say where your art is from. So, if your art is from an older project,  hopefully your voters will consider it lazy.

Steal code from your previous projects. Leave bugs unfixed. Include no tutorials. Absolutely bombard the player with mechanics and features and stuff. Chaos.


But there's more than just laziness...

The point of the jam is make a game that makes no sense, but you can't just make absolute dumpster fire, either.
Here are some things to include:

1. Chaos.

2. No tutorial

3. Still playable, though.


General Jam information and rules

Since your objective is to make a game that makes no sense, there pretty much are no rules. Work on the game before the jam starts, do whatever you feel like you gotta do. The rules aren't going to stop you.

The Rules:

1. Make a game that makes no sense

2. No tutorials unless really necessary.

3. No quality allowed unless it's just reused or copied from somewhere.


Voting Criteria

1. Insanity - How much does the game not make sense and be chaotic?

2. Art - How lazy is the art design?

3. Audio - How is the audio?

4. Washing Machine Cycles - How playable is the game?

5. Enjoyment - Did you enjoy the game?


Good luck to all of you creating a game!
Hope it makes no sense and you have some fun making it!
