INTRODUCTION

Micro Jam is a 48-hour-long video game development jam held weekly on itch.io. It is a place where no matter where you are in your video game development journey you are, great games can be created with our creative themes.

Themes are released upon the Jam being published, however a requirement will be released once the submission date is reached. This is a requirement regarding the theme, colours, storyline, game style, etc to spice up the submissions. You can plan ahead to what game you are going to create, but once the requirement is released, you may have to change your idea.

This Jam's theme is SCI-FI. Keep in mind that the theme is open to everyone's interpretation, so do not be concerned about your video game idea.
