ABOUT

Create a mini game during the month of January and submit it. The keyword here is MINI(game). Make something that is small, simple, and (hopefully) polished.

Although this is a month long jam, you should not necessarily work on your project all month. Hopefully you will be able to complete your core idea in a couple days and then polish the idea over the course of the month. Try making new things/ideas rather than a polished game with a lot of content. Large polished projects are still welcome though.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please join the Discord or post in the Itch Community for the jam.

THEME

The theme is: Water

This is an OPTIONAL theme, you will not be rated on it explicitly but raters can consider it when rating you for "Innovation".

RULES

1. Game must be started and "finished" within the month.

2. Reusing old code and assets is totally fine. Using an old project and updating it is fine, as long as:

  • Its a relatively incomplete/small project
  • You haven't submitted it to a previous "Minigame A Month" jam
  • You significantly develop/improve it this month.

3. Teams of any size are allowed

4. You must have permission/rights for any 3rd party asset you use

RATINGS

Voting/rating will conclude 7 days after the end of the jam, and games will be ranked based on these ratings:

  1. Overall/Fun - How much you enjoyed the entry overall?
  2. Innovation/Theme - How original or novel is the idea? If it used the theme did it use it well?
  3. Polish - How polished/complete is the game? (Are the graphics/sound/writing good, is the UI well designed, does it feel complete, etc)

PRIZES

The top 5 entries will be sent prizes and featured in a video that will come out a week or so after the jam concludes. Prizes are all sourced from participants, and will be sent to the email/discord username provided on submission. If you would like to submit some steam keys or digital goods as prizes please join the Discord and ask in the #general or #prizes channel
