If you have any question, put them here!!!

What counts as a point and click game, for the purpose of this jam? and what criteria will games be rated on?

Host

Great questions! A point and click game is like an image and where you click for ex a room with two doors. If you click on the first door or in a certain spot it will take you to another picture. You can use this to make stories, notes, an inventory system keys to unlock areas you couldn't click on but you can now. Look at some examples. 1: Goosebumps by WayForward 2: Maniac Mansion. For the second question it will be rated on Gameplay, Story, Art, and an Overall ranking which is the average of the three rankings. The person with the highest Overall Ranking wins. I hope these answers help with your question and Happy Jamming!

Thanks, I think that  mostly answers it. To be clear I know what a point and click usually entails, I was moreso wandering like, are there certain mechanics you feelshould or should not be present in order to respect this limitation?

As in, if I have some top down pov with fancy movement, abilities or whatever that are not point and click, does that disqualify me or is there some liberty as long as most of the game can reasonably be called point and click?

Host

If any thing is not really point-ant-clickish its fine. I won't disqualify you but I think that if you do something like make movement with wasd which defeats the whole purpose it would not count as a point and click and you would be disqualified. Thanks for asking!

I was just thinking you should put these restrictions in the front page because some people might not know exactly what they can or can't do! Or they might want to be experimental but they should know how far they can experiment, you know
