RULES

  1. Deadline for all submissions to the jam are due Sunday @ 5PM. There will be a grace period of 10 minutes to submit your build to the jam, but you are not allowed to edit your build whatsoever during this period.
  2. Follow the given PRIMARY theme of the jam. All secondary themes are optional and are meant to provide a challenge if you are up to the task.
  3. Have an itch.io page ready to submit to the jam at least an hour before the deadline. This will minimize any last-minute submission issues on your end.
  4. If any premade assets are used, be sure to properly credit each asset (i.e. "Free Asset - Peter Anteater [link to asset page]") on either your itch.io page, on the game itself, or in a readme in the build zip folder.
  5. Do not sabotage or interfere with other teams during development. If you do, you will be kicked out of the jam and any future jams. There will be no warnings, so play nice and play fair.
  6. No nudity, intense gore, or illicit drug references! Keep this jam PG-13, please.
  7. Be polite. Be considerate. Have a plan to be mindful of everyone you meet!
