Rules

  • Game must be made and submitted within the timeline. Late submissions will not be accepted.
  • You must have a valid license for any assets used in your game (including fonts). Any pre-made asset may be used as long as the game itself is made within the timeline.
  • Teams are limited to three participants.
  • In order to promote a fair and creative competition, we ask that participants limit their reliance on AI-generated content. I can't really police this, so just be a good person.
  • No NSFW content. This includes, but is not limited to: nudity or sexual content, profanity, use of drugs or alcohol, violence, gore, and frightening images.
