SOFA JAM 2

This jam is to celebrate the old school way of gaming with your friends. One system, two to four controllers, and a big sofa you could sink into. Whether it was a side scrolling beat 'em up or a competative racing game you always have your friends sat right next to you. 

Your objective:

To build a game that can be played by 2-4 players on one screen. It can be a co-operative top down horde shooter or a competative racing game where the cars drive people! Be as creative as possible. 

Theme:

The only theme you must follow is LOCAL MULTIPLAYER. A game that can be played with friends in the same room. We recommend making it with controllers in mind.

RULES:

1 - Nothing NSFW, lets keep it clean.  
2 - Nothing that singles out or offends peoples way of life, let's keep it friendly.
3 - Keep it PEGI 7. for example you can make a shooter but don't put in loads of blood and gore, lets keep it light.
4 - Only submissions made during the development time will be counted. You can continue to make your game but please wait till after the voting period.
5 - MUST BE LOCAL MULTIPLAYER! 2-4 player. Single player games or online games will be removed.
6 - Use any tools you want. UE4, Unity or even make a table top game (in word). We don't mind just make sure you follow rule 5. 
7 - You can use third party assets as long as you have the rights or they're free use, but you must give credit where credit is due.
8 - Teams can be no more than 4 people. 

VOTING:

There are 4 criteria to hit in the voting.

1 - Gameplay, does it play well?
2 - Art style, does it fit the game?
3 - Creativity, how creative was your idea?
4 - Fun factor, was it a fun game?

The prize for the winning team or solo dev is a copy of our game Battle Mountain which is in early access on Steam.

Good luck and have fun. Don't forget that you can join our discord to chat with other developers about the jam. https://discord.gg/C9Qq2jPhGb
