You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Macabre Carnival

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Masks and Costumes: The player character has the ability to wear different Masks and/or Costumes that each have a different effect, such as giving them special abilities or allowing them access to different areas.

2 - Carnival Games: The player is able to participate in various minigames.

3 - Danse Macabre: There are dancing skeletons in the game.
