Our COOL partners

Gandi IDE is an in-browser game engine, a mod of MIT Scratch with collaboration features that allow scratchers to design and code together in real-time.

Theme

The theme of Scratch Game Jam #2 is Genre Swap.

Genre Swap is a game jam challenge where participants are tasked to mix and match different game genres to create something new and unique.

We have prepared some contents to help you better understand this theme.

Rules

This is an exclusive engine jam. Only submissions created using the Scratch or Scratch mod such as Gandi IDE or TurboWarp will be allowed.

You must upload as HTML5. Remember to make it playable in browser. Submissions not including this will be removed. Gandi IDE can help you and Here is a step-by-step guide for you.

The latest submission date is Mar 13th at 0 UTC. You can submit your project starting Mar 3rd at 0 UTC, and it is recommended to post it earlier so that community members can give feedback and help you iterate on it better.How it shows Genre Swap?
