Welcome to PRY DEV GAME JAM 2024, where developers from around the world come together to create exciting and innovative web-based games! This year's theme is all about Two Player Games, so gather your friends and get ready to dive into games that bring people together.

What is PRY DEV GAME JAM?

PRY GAME JAM is an annual game development event where participants have a limited time to create games centered around a specific theme. This year, we’re focusing on games that can be played by two people simultaneously—either cooperatively or competitively. It’s all about crafting experiences that are fun and engaging for pairs! The coolest part of the PRY GAME JAM is that any complete game that abides by the rules of this game jam will have the opportunity to be placed on the PRY game website, with the top three spots receiving a special feature for the world to enjoy!

Theme: Two Player Games

The goal of this year's jam is to build games that bring players together. Your game can be anything that supports two players at the same time—think classic board games, cooperative puzzle-solving, competitive sports games, or even unique interactive experiences. The main requirement is that your game must be designed for two players to enjoy together. Get creative with mechanics, player interactions, and how the two players can affect each other's experience!

Submission Requirements

• Game Type: Web-based game that can be played in a web browser.
• Theme Requirement: The game must support two-player interaction.
• Originality: Your game must be your own work and created specifically for this jam.

Judging Criteria

Games will be judged on the following:

• Gameplay: How fun and engaging is the game? Does it support two players well?
• Theme Adherence: How well does the game fit the theme of "Two Player Games"?
• Creativity: How unique and innovative is the game’s concept and execution?
• Presentation: How polished is the game? This includes graphics, sound, and overall experience.

Prizes

All participants will receive a digital certificate for joining and contributing to the jam. Along with this, every complete game that adheres to the rules of the game jam will have the opportunity to be featured on PRY games' upcoming website for the world to enjoy, with the top three spots having a front-page feature!
