Jam Rules

Games submitted to Quick Play will be considered for a prize pool intended to fund the further development of the game created, with the ultimate goal of being published on Google Play within a time frame that will be determined early 2023.  

All games submitted to the jam are required to be made within the time frame of the jam. We will not accept games made prior.

Along with your game's build, you will be required to submit a link to a PDF or slide deck presentation pitch of your game to share with the judges. Please include your team member's names and emails so we have a way to contact you if you win!

This is an Android only mobile game jam.

Anyone 18 years or older can participate in the jam.  Latinx in Gaming is hosting the jam but we want to extend the opportunity to anyone interested in participating outside our community. That includes peoples of different cultures, races, religions, languages, and countries.

What platform can I use to make my game/experience?

To be considered for the prize pool, you must port your game only to Android.  We will not be accepting analogue games, VR or AR games, Super Mario Maker levels, Dreams (PS4) games, or games that require an emulator to run.

What assets can I use? 

Any assets that you have made, purchased, or downloaded with proper licensing are permitted.

Who will judge the games? 

We will have indie mobile developers from Latin America play and give feedback to selected finalist games during a judging period between November 21st -December 2nd.
