This game jam is designed primarily for composers/sound designers. But it's not all that simple. The aim of the jam is to combine cool special effects and gameplay/game mechanics with melody and sound. Your task is to make something impressive and exciting.

Whether it's an open world with magical fairies, a rhythm game about lovers, or an epic action platformer with monsters, it's up to you.  However, there is a limit on themes.

The criteria by which your game will be judged:

1. How well the required condition is met
2. Music
3. Graphic
4. Game mechanics (gameplay)
5. General impressions

I'm an artist/programmer/composer/writer and I can't draw/program/write music/create a story, but I want to participate, what should I do?

Communicate. In the community tab, there is an option to ask to join a team.
