Each entry must work or run-on Windows 7 and above.

Keyboard and/or mouse for input(Touch screen/gamepad is allowed, but must be playable via keyboard/mouse as option)

You are able to form a team, however prizes are allocated 1 per team, not 1 per teammate.

Art & Audio:


You should create your own game assets(art/music), but if you cannot you MUST GIVE CREDIT TO ARTISTS and follow their licensing agreements.  You are excluded from sprite-ripping copyrighted commercial games(i.e pokemon/mario/zelda/sonic, etc).
