Welcome to the Purposeful Glitch Jam!

Are you ready to dive into a world where glitches aren't just bugs but creative opportunities? In this game jam, we invite you to explore the fascinating realm of purposeful glitches and create mind-bending experiences using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

The Purposeful Glitch Jam is all about celebrating the beauty and artistry of glitches in games. Rather than viewing glitches as technical hiccups to be fixed, we want you to embrace them as a form of expression. Think of glitches as unexpected brushstrokes on a digital canvas, adding unique and unpredictable elements to your game creations.

During this jam, we encourage you to experiment with intentional glitches in your game designs. Push the boundaries of what is expected and unleash your creativity by incorporating glitches into gameplay mechanics, visuals, and audio. Embrace the chaotic nature of glitches and use them to surprise, challenge, and delight players.

To participate, you'll need to create a game using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These powerful web technologies will be your toolkit to craft glitch-infused experiences that will captivate players and push the boundaries of traditional game design.

Whether you're an experienced developer or a newcomer to game development, this jam is open to all skill levels. Feel free to collaborate with others, form teams, or go solo. The focus here is on exploration and experimentation, so don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new.

As with any game jam, there will be a deadline for submissions. Once the jam begins, you'll have a set amount of time to create and polish your purposeful glitch game. The clock is ticking, so make every moment count!

At the end of the jam, our panel of random people on itch.io, composed of industry professionals and fellow game enthusiasts, will review the submissions. They will evaluate each game based on creativity, innovation, implementation of purposeful glitches, gameplay experience, and overall fun factor. Exciting prizes will be awarded to the most outstanding entries, including recognition, exposure, and perhaps even the opportunity to showcase your game at gaming events.

Join us in the Purposeful Glitch Jam and let your imagination run wild. Unleash the power of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create glitchy masterpieces that challenge the norm and redefine what it means to play a game. Together, let's turn glitches into art!
