Jump is Toon Boom's in-beta game creation tool, combining existing industry standard drawing and animation software with the Godot engine to provide a full ecosystem for the development of high quality 2D interactive experiences.  Join the Discord Server if you have any questions or want to hang out with your fellow Jam participants.

You will need to use Jump! Game Development software to create art and assets for this Jam. We will provide you with a full license.  Read below for details.

1. Join our Discord community: https://discord.gg/GkvxSxvqTu
2. Access #get-jump & sign our NDA
3. Upon approval, download the build, use your provided license key, and start creating!

The theme is a central idea or mechanic that must be included within your game.  Your game must follow this theme, but it is open to interpretation.  If you are unsure if your idea doesn't fit the theme, just remember that everyone will interpret it differently. 

We will be partnering with Godot Wild Jam for their Jam #80! If you combine both themes, you can enter both jams - or choose to enter only our jam. The choice is yours!

At the end of the Jam, there will be a rating period that lasts 7 days. Judging team and details have been announced in our Discord server! The judging will be based off these 3 categories:

• Theme Implementation
• Artistic Style
• Appeal Playability

The winning project and team will be rewarded with the ultimate Toon Boom swag bag, including a beautiful leather bag filled to the brim with various TB branded goodies. See the image below!

1. All games must be built having used Jump's art + animation tools - although we highly encourage you to use the integrated Godot engine, you are free to use any engine of your choice.
2. The majority of code/assets must be created within the window of the Jam. Please refrain from reskinning a game made outside this Jam.
3. No fully LLM/AI generated assets. AI assistance can be helpful in the development process, but please try to keep in the spirit of the Jam and create things yourself!
4. No NSFW/NSFL content will be considered.
5. All submissions must be Web builds uploaded through Itch.io.
   
6. A full feedback form will need to be submitted alongside the final submission - please answer honestly and to the best of your ability.
