💡 WHAT IS MICRO JAM?

Micro Jam is a bi-weekly Game Jam (game development competition) held on itch.io. Every Jam has a pre-set theme and a surprise prerequisite that is divulged once the Jam starts. The prerequisite can be voted on in the Micro Jam Discord server and is open for interpretation.

It's absolutely fine if you do not finish your game in time. You can submit it late within 6-hours after the submission window closes!

And special thanks to GameMaker and Bezi for sponsoring and making these jams possible.

🎯 RATING:

When submission is over, there will be a 48 hour rating period. These are the criteria:

1. Enjoyment - how fun it was to play the game

2. Presentation - how well the visuals, sound, colors, etc work together

3. Concept - the game's idea; storyline, mechanic, etc

4. Use of theme - how well the theme is integrated

5. Use of prerequisite - how well the prerequisite is integrated

6. Controls - how the game feels when playing it (snappy? delayed? smooth?)

After the voting period has ended, a Judge panel will assess a bracket of games to be chosen to receive a prize (See "Prizes" section above).


📜 RULES:

1. Keep the game content clean (no explicit, NSFW or disturbing graphics)

2. Keep the game content in English (except for the title; it can be in any language)

3. Don't make games before the 48-hour Jam period

4. You aren't allowed to delete, add or change GAME FILES after submission period (Micro Jam locks your page)

5. To be eligible for prizes, you must be in our Discord community.


❓ FAQ:

If I'm in a team, do all members have to submit the game? No, only one person should submit it. You can add your team members on the game page. 

Can I submit a game I already made? No, you can only submit games made in the given timeframe. We don't check, but just don't~

Can I use premade assets? Yes, absolutely! If you have permission or if it's your own, go for it!

Can I use AI (artificial intelligence)? Yep, you can! AI is a great tool that can help developers, and you should definitely try to take advantage of it.

What's a prerequisite? A prerequisite is something that your game must follow. It is voted on and is released once the Jam starts.

Does my game have to follow the theme and prerequisite? No, it doesn't have to. But just remember that those are both a part of the rating criteria, so try to integrate them into your game.

Is there a prize for winning? Yes, we offer numerous prizes! Check the "Prizes" section above.

Can someone win 2 awards? Yes and no. Someone can win both a top 3 award as well as a "Best MiniScript Entry" Award. Their prize will be both of the awards, and the money they receive will be the total of the two prizes (EG $30 + $30 = $60 total).
