I have a question: how will the games be judged? This is my first game jam.
Hi! ๐
Games will be judged by public voting after the submission period ends.
Everyone can rate entries, and the final ranking will be based on these voting criteria:
How original, surprising, or interesting the broken rule is.
How clearly the game uses the theme, and how important the broken rule is to the gameplay.
How enjoyable, interesting, funny, scary, or satisfying the game is to play.
How understandable and finished the game feels, including controls, visuals, audio, and presentation.
So basically, players will vote on the games using these categories, and the highest-rated games will appear in the final ranking.
Good luck with your first game jam! ๐
