🎮 Welcome to the Grimlyte Games Jam! (Number 5)

This jam is for aspiring and experienced developers, artists, sound designers, and storytellers—designed to help you grow your skills, get feedback, and connect with others who love making games.

Whether you're here to sharpen your prototyping chops, explore a new idea, or just jam alongside like-minded devs—you’re in the right place.

🧠 THEME / RESTRICTION:
KISS (Keep It Simple Silly)
This time, instead of a conceptual theme, we’re challenging you with restrictions:

• Games must use shapes and polygons only.

• Stick to your engine’s built-in primitives whenever possible.

• If you need to create your own, keep them strictly geometric.

The focus is on prototyping skills and game loop design. Build a strong, replayable foundation that could be expanded into something bigger down the road.

⏱ DURATION:
10 Days
📅 August 22nd, 12:00 PM EST → September 1st, 12:00 PM EST

• Solo developers or teams

• Beginners and pros alike
