WELCOME!

Mini jam is a 72-hour-long, game development jam for independent game developers that occurs every two weeks.

Mini Jam involves a required condition that is announced as soon as it starts to spice things up. Remember, limitation breeds creativity. You get the theme early, so you can plan ahead, Just keep the limitation in mind. This jam's theme is POWER. Remember, theme is purely inspirational and not required. Feel free to interpret it however you want.

LIMITATION!

The limitation is a special condition that your game must follow, but is open to interpretation. If your game does not follow the limitation, it may be removed.

Limitation: Only 5 colors

This means you can only display 5 colors on your screen at once. This does not mean you get 5 shades of colors, it means you must make your game only display 5 RBG/Hex values at once. Note that you may change your colors during run time.

Q: Can I have more than 5 colors on screen at once?
A: No.

Q: Do black and white count as colors?
A: Yes, black and white are colors.

Q: Can I have alternate color palettes?
A: Yes, color changing is allowed.

Q: Can I use less than 5 colors?
A: Of course.
