The theme for the ScoreSpace x Ultimate Arcade Jam is...
DECAY!

This is the first jam from ScoreSpace and Ultimate Arcade. Ultimate Arcade is a new skill-based online arcade where players pay to play and compete against opponents worldwide!

ScoreSpace has partnered with Ultimate Arcade to help bring the first batch of games onto their new venture-backed platform.  

The Ultimate Arcade Third Party Developer program allows developers to put their games on the arcade, creating a stream of revenue from players. Unlike one-time purchases, in-game item sales, or in-game ads.  Players compete for each other’s buy-in. You make money any time a player plays the game without disrupting the experience or creating a pay-to-win situation.  

The winners of the Jam will not only be eligible for a publishing contract with ScoreSpace but will also be considered to have their games published to and promoted on the Ultimate Arcade.

The competition starts with the game developers. Their job is to create a game with a high score feature within a 72-hour period. Once the time runs out, the games are judged by participants and hosts. 

All games entered in the contest are automatically considered for a publishing deal with ScoreSpace!!!

All games must include a leaderboard system (offline or online) so that the players can compete for a high score if you happen to win the contest.  

Games should be designed with asynchronous multiplayer in mind - either player vs. ghost recording of another player, or a leaderboard that all players compete on.

You can make the game on your own or in a team of up to 4 people. You can find other people to team up with on our Discord.

All game engines are allowed but Unity or JavaScript-based games are preferred for this jam.

Games that are NSFW should have a warning in the description or when the game first loads up.

You and your team are encouraged to make everything from scratch during the event. If you use any pre-made assets you must list them in the description of the game and you must have the rights to use said assets.

All games submitted must be digital games that can be played on Web, Windows, Linux, or Mac. (It's easier for people to play Web games.)

Legal - Anything you make during this ScoreSpace Gamejam is your property.  ScoreSpace and our partners claim no rights or ownership of your game. If ScoreSpace wishes to publish your game we will contact you directly with a deal.

The games will be chosen by developers who participated in the jam, Ultimate Arcade Staff, and the ScoreSpace staff.

All of the awards below are chosen from the top 20 games

The Developer's Choice is the award that is given to the developer's top-rated game from the jam. The developers vote based on the categories below. (1st)

• Gameplay: How did the game flow, did it have tight controls, what was your experience while playing
• Theme: How well did the entry stick to the theme, did you like their interpretation of it
• Aesthetics: How well does the game utilize its visual style and how appealing is it
• Sound: How well do the music and sound contribute to the game

The Arcade Choice is Ultimate Arcade's favorite game in the jam, and the one they think will do well on their platform (2nd)

The ScoreSpace Choice is the favorite game among ScoreSpace staff. (3rd)

*In a situation where the same game is chosen for more than one category, said game will receive the highest placing they were awarded and another game will be chosen for the lesser category.

There are cash prizes for the top three games in the jam. 300 to first, 150 to second, and 50 to third.

All games entered in the contest are automatically considered for a publishing deal with ScoreSpace!!

The top 3 games will be considered for publishing on Ultimate Arcade.

Winning does not guarantee a publishing deal but it does earn you first consideration.

Winners will receive a special discord role in the ScoreSpace Discord server.
