Welcome to the Lewis Game Jam 2020!
This is a game jam made for students of Lewis University
Lewis Game Jam 2020 Theme: “You Only Get One”
Use the theme above to come up with a unique idea for your game! Whether it be represented by the mechanics, story, or somewhere else in your game! Submissions will be judged on how much your game adheres to the theme. The theme isn’t purposefully a bit vague to encourage you to get creative with it!
