Bonfire Jam

Welcome to (late) Bonfire night! And as we cant all gather round a bonfire, lets all make our own virtual bonfires!

For anyone who has never seen or participated in a jam, a theme will be announced at the start of the jam. Your team will then develop a game based around the theme over the course of two days. There are also modifiers, modifiers are completely optional and serve as an extra challenge for participants. You do NOT need to fulfil all or any of the modifiers to win overall, however judges will select a second winner who fulfils some or all of these modifiers in the best way. The overall winner will be decided by you (and your peers)!

Theme: Warmth

Modifiers (optional):

        Boing! - the player moves by jumping

        OTT - Make your game look as wacky and manic as possible.

        *sips mug of tea - Include tea in some form somewhere in your game

Prizes

There will be a prize for all members of the teams that win the community vote or committee favourite.

Rules

It should go without saying that any submissions that are discriminatory on the basis of gender, sexual orientation, disability, physical appearance, race, religion, etc. will be removed from the jam and further action may be taken if warranted.
