Check out the poll results here

Theme ideas were submitted and voted on by you, the jammers, in the official 2D Game Jammers discord. Thanks for all the suggestions and votes!



🏆 PRIZE:

The 1st/2nd/3rd place submissions will win gift cards for a platform of the winner's choosing (e.g Steam, Itch.io) - $20, $15, and $10 in that order! If the winning submission is made by a team, each member will get an equal split of the prize. I'll contact the submitter of the winning project shortly after the results are revealed to sort out the prize.

📋 RULES:

The rules are as follows;

  1. Your game should be 2D. You can use any engine or tools you want as long as the final game is 2D. ("2.5D" is also allowed but other jammers might have a different definition of "2.5D" and vote your game down for it.) 
  2. You are encouraged to make your game relevant to the theme and relevant to spooky/halloween in general - but it is not totally mandatory.
  3. You cannot submit a game that you made or started making before the jam began. The game must be specifically for this jam. Also, it is preferred that all assets are created during the 48 hour jam time. You can use premade assets, but you MUST declare them (this includes code from AI e.g ChatGPT)!
  4. You can work solo or as part of a team of any size.
  5. No excessive/offensive gore or horror. Try and make something suitable for all ages (or include a content warning, if needed)!
  6. No NSFW content or any content that could be considered racist/sexist/homophobic etc.
  7. Please keep any discussion with fellow jammers respectful, and just be nice in general!

🗳️ RATING CRITERIA:

Rating will be open for 5 days after the jam closes. The rating criteria is as follows (with equal weight for each criteria):

  • Gameplay / Fun
  • Graphics / Visuals
  • Audio / Music
  • How much do you like the game overall?
  • Is it spooky and/or does it follow the theme?
