Welcome to the Pixel Forge a 1-week game jam where developers, artists, designers, and creators come together to build something awesome. You have 7 days to create a game from scratch, experiment with ideas, and turn creativity into playable projects.

Pixel Forge Jam is fiscally sponsored by The Hack Foundation (d.b.a. Hack Club), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. 

We recommend checking out our website over here for more information and timeline of the game jam

CHALLENGE: MAKE A GAME USING ONLY 3 COLORS

Some basic info:

- Fade: It has more than 3 colors visibly hence not allowed

- Default Game engine color also counts as a color

Theme will be announced at the start of the game jam. Participants must design their game around the theme. The theme can be interpreted in any way you like. 

---

• You’re free to use any game engine you like, and you can participate solo or in a team of up to 4 people.
• All work should be created during the jam period. If you do use any pre-made assets make sure to properly credit them when submitting. Also, NO usage of AI-generated content.
• When you submit your game, include a short explanation of how you used the theme.
• NO hateful, offensive, or NSFW. If your game includes horror or violence, make sure to clearly mention it on your page.
• While not mandatory, submitting a browser-playable version is highly recommended since those usually get more plays and ratings. If you can’t do that, a Windows or Mac build works fine. 
• Please don’t try to manipulate ratings in any way.
• Be respectful during the voting period and try to give useful, constructive feedback to other participants.

---

The queue is enabled, meaning you'll be given five randomly chosen games to rate first before you can play any game. This is so that all games get a minimum number of ratings.

• Gameplay
  
• Theme Usage/ Implementation
• Visual Design
• Music
