Welcome to the Inaugural MSOE Scratch Game Jam! 

Rules:

All programming must be done in Block-based Scratch

You must incorporate the Theme and Special Object

Have Fun (This rule will be strictly enforced)

Theme and Special Object:
This Jam has both a Theme and a Special Object.

Theme: Tropical

This is the overall theme of the Jam. Your game must incorporate tropical elements in some way, an easy way to do this is to have the game set in the tropics

Special Object: Sphere

An object that must be included in the game. We've left it pretty vague at this point so feel free to explore

Judging Criteria:

Incorporation of Theme: How well your game incorporates the theme and the special object

Aesthetics: How good your game looks and sounds. Think graphics and music. Alternatively: how good is your game's vibe?

Mechanics: How smooth your game feels to play, bonus points if your mechanics are especially difficult to incorporate and work well.

"Fun Factor": How fun your game is to play. Does it give the player that "Just five more minutes" feeling?
