🎮 Mini Gim #1

A beginner-friendly game jam for anyone who wants to have fun, meet new people, and learn game development!


🧪🌱 This Week’s Theme: Vivarium 🌱🧪

A vivarium is a controlled environment where living organisms are kept and observed — but how you interpret that is totally up to you!

Use the theme in your mechanics, setting, story, visuals, or gameplay. Be creative and experiment freely!

  • ❌ No NSFW, hateful, or offensive content.
