A week-long online game jam. Bring the Spark, then build on it when we drop something new partway through.

Spark & Catalyst

Theme

Spark

Revealed the moment the jam opens.

The Addition

Catalyst

Drops partway through the week. Keep an eye on Discord so you don't miss it.

Think mechanic, not concept. The Catalyst is something you build, not a new direction to chase.

The Basics

Duration

One week. The Spark drops the moment the jam opens, the Catalyst lands partway through, and submissions close a week later.

Team Size

Solo or up to 4. Bring friends, or find some in the Discord.

Platform

Plays in browser. Any engine, as long as the final build runs in a browser.

The Prize

No cash prize, just bragging rights, a shout-out post, and a permanent spot on the Setfire hall of flame.

Rules
  • All work (code, art, audio) needs to be made after the jam starts. General-purpose libraries, engines, or licensed third-party assets you already have rights to are fair game.
  • Credit any third-party assets on your game page.
  • One submission per person or team. Pick your favorite idea and commit.
  • No NSFW, hate speech, harassment, or asset flips. Low-effort "troll" entries will be removed.
  • No NFT/crypto content.
  • Games must be playable without extra hardware. No VR-only or controller-only submissions.
  • AI-generated content is totally fine. Just disclose it on your game page and give a quick rundown of how you used it.
  • Be excellent to each other. Harassment or hate speech toward fellow jammers gets you disqualified, no exceptions.
How to Join
  1. Click Join Jam on the Setfire Twist Jam page.
  2. Join the Discord so you get pinged the second the Spark, and later the Catalyst, drops.
  3. Submit your game before the week's timer hits zero.
  4. Once submissions close, the rating period kicks off. Go play, rate, and comment on other entries using the four criteria above.

You keep full ownership of everything you make. Setfire Twist Jam exists for the community. Be generous, be encouraging, and help someone else finish their game too.
