Step back into the golden age of gaming. The Retro Style Game Jam challenges developers to create games that capture the magic, charm, and raw creativity of the classics — whether it’s pixel art, low‑poly PS1 vibes, CRT‑blurred aesthetics, chiptune soundtracks, or old‑school gameplay loops that defined an era.

This jam is all about celebrating the past while creating something new. Bring your nostalgia, your weird ideas, your retro engines, your crunchy textures, your VHS filters, your demakes, your low‑res monsters — anything that feels like it crawled out of a forgotten console or a dusty PC tower.

Whether you’re inspired by:

• SNES platformers
• PS1 horror
• DOS shooters
• Game Boy adventures
• Early 2000s PC games
• or anything released before 2013 (because yes, that’s retro now)

This jam is your playground.

Make something bold. Make something strange. Make something that feels like it belongs on a shelf next to your favorite childhood games.

Retro isn’t old — retro is timeless. Let’s bring it back.
