Nexus Game Jam is back for its 3rd edition!

After the jam, participants and contributors will have 2 weeks to vote for their favorite games and finally the judge will choose the winner from the best rated games!
The main goal of NGJ stay the same. Follow the theme, include the special object and make the most creative game out of it!
