WHAT IS THE IDLE JAM?
The idle jam is a new monthly jam for people who love idle/clicker games. Each jam has the main theme of an idle or clicker and will have an optional subtheme to get ideas out there! The theme is currently created by the judges but may become available to vote on at a later date depending on the traction.
SUB-THEME:
The theme of this months jam "Out of This World". Do with this what you want. Whether you use it as a space theme, a galaxy theme, a planet theme or anything else you can think of. It's up to you!
The sub-theme is completely optional and only there to help you with ideas :D
RATING:
The games will be rated with 4 things:
1. Enjoyment - How much fun you had playing the game
2. Concept - The overall idea of the game and how well it's done
3. Presentation - How nice the game looks (UI, Sprites, Backgrounds, etc...)
4. Sound Design - Background music and sound effects
RULES:
There aren't very many rules so follow them carefully.
1. Keep the game content clean (no explicit, NSFW or disturbing graphics)
2. Keep the game in English (The title can be in any language)
3. Only create games during the week long period. You are allowed to reuse old code but not old games that you have already made.
4. ALL games must be playable on the web!
FAQ:
Can I work with a team? Yes, you can work with as many team members as you'd like, however, you must give all team members proper credits.
