What is the theme? 

Speedrun!

What's a speedrun? An extra challenge to master a game and finish it as quickly as possible. Speedrunning is fun because you see constant improvement. Think you mastered the game? Well, try again, and you might save another 0.5 seconds. And there's no feeling in the world like getting a World Record (or so I've heard). Speedrunners find the most optimal route by learning and practicing the game, using perfect knowledge and execution to blaze through the game. This often involves exploiting glitches or oversights in the game's programming.

Do I have to use a specific program to build the game?  No, you can make your game anywhere! Just make sure it runs on Windows or browsers!

What assets can I use?  The vast majority of code must be written during the jam, but you can use whatever assets you have the legal right to use.

Rules

• Your game must be made within the time frame. 
• You can use whatever engine you want.
• Updates are allowed after the game has been submitted and ranked.
• No harassment of any kind.
• No NSFW content, offensive content, excessive gore/violence.
• You are allowed to use pre-made assets!

Voting Criteria

The jam submissions can be ranked by any user - that way it's easier to identify what games are most popular in the community! It's important to remember that this does not mean that one game is better than the other - I'll make sure to try and play as many games as possible so I can have my feedback!

• Creativity
• Gameplay
• Art
• Sound

Most important of all - enjoy your time and don't feel pressured to do anything extraordinary! Game jams are meant to be a fun way to practice, experiment and get to know talented people!
