The theme for this month is XR

Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term to refer to augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR)

Your submission can be one of two things:

1. A XR App/game. Meaning a game that can be played in augmented or virtual reality

Examples:

• An AR mobile game where you shoot enemies that spawn around you by aiming with your phone.
• A game for the Meta Quest headset

2. A non XR app that incorporates XR thematically.

Examples:

• A game where the player uses a VR/AR device in game as a  core mechanic. Like the player puts on a VR headset and the world changes due to it.

This jam is a part of the Game a Month series of jams.

About

Although this is a month long jam, you should not necessarily work on your project all month. Hopefully you will be able to complete your core idea in a couple days and then polish the idea over the course of the month. Try making new things/ideas rather than a polished game with a lot of content. Large polished projects are still welcome though.

If you have any questions or suggestions, please join the Discord or post in the Itch Community for the jam.

RULES

1. Submissions can be in ANY format (Windows, Web, GB Studio, Pen and Paper, Smart Fridge App,  ANYTHING). However you may not get many ratings if you pick a weird format so I recommend making sure your game is playable on Windows or Web.

2. Game must be started and "finished" within the month.

3. Reusing old code and assets is totally fine. Using an old project and updating it is fine, as long as:

• Its a relatively incomplete/small project
• You haven't submitted it to a previous "Minigame A Month" jam
• You significantly develop/improve it this month.

4. Teams of any size are allowed

5. You must have permission/rights for any 3rd party asset you use

Spam Rules

I've done a couple of these jams and noticed a lot of spam games are submitted to month long jams. Entering multiple jams is OK but if your game seems really low effort and unrelated to the jam I may remove it. I've made some rules about spam games:

1. People should not need to spend any money to play your game. Games should be free to play, or offer a free demo/web build over the course of the jam, and during the rating period. ANY GAME NOT FOLLOWING THIS RULE WILL BE REMOVED.

2.You can submit your game to other jams, however if I see the game is not following the theme and has been submitted to 10+ jams, I may remove it based on it looking like spam. Post in the community if you feel your game was unfairly removed, and I may revert it.

3. A lot of the spam games tend to be android games with only APKs and terrible descriptions (ChatGPT nonsense). I will remove most APKs that look like spam, and advise people to not download them.
