These are a few ground rules. Not following them may result in disqualification.
Follow itch.io’s Terms of Service
Your entry must comply with all of itch.io’s rules and Terms of Service.
Respect copyright and licensing
You are fully responsible for the assets used in your game.
By uploading your game or any materials, you confirm that you have the rights to use and distribute everything included.
Always check the licenses of assets — do they allow use in games?
If you share your game’s source code (optional), make sure it’s clear whether the assets can be redistributed with it.
No real-world attacks or targeted mockery
Entries should not depict or make fun of real people or real events.
This jam is meant to unite the game dev community — not divide it.
You absolutely can make a game that celebrates fun instead of hate! 🙂
The game in it's entirety or a meaningful portion of the game has to be made during the jam.
If some part of the game was prepared before the jam, you HAVE to include a clear description in the submission page about what has been done during the jam and what before it.
If you created a simple game specially for this jam but BEFORE the jam started (e.g. to show support) - also make it clear in the description.
Be transparent.
You are required to provide a note describing what has been done pre-jam and what added during jam.
Adding an already finished game for promotional reasons or not providing transparency note WILL
result in entry being deleted or disqualified.
💬 Need clarification? If you think your idea might violate any of the rules, feel free to ask in the “Help” topic or message this account directly. I reserve the right to consult the Stop Killing Games Discord community in case of doubt — after all, I’m just a guy here 😄
