This years theme is FRIENDLY!

Examples:
Let your game play in a hostile environment looking for something friendly.
Construct a friendship simulator or even make an animal-friendly game.
Whatever you make, be creative with this topic, have fun and good luck!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

The theme is just a recommendation, right? The rules don't mention the theme at all. 

The rules do mention a theme ^^
It's right above the rules section

That's what I meant. There is a Theme section, but in the actual rules it doesn't say that the theme is mandatory.

Besides your game development hobby, you are 100% a lawyer! :)

The theme is a voting criteria, and you'll have to answer "How does your game fit the theme" while uploading.
I'd say the theme is not a recommendation, but it is not explicitly stated in the rules, that's true.

*And, yeah. There is an extra theme section. I personally think that's enough! :D

Ah, thanks for clearing that up, I didn't it would be part of the voting. :)

Well, it's not an easy theme for sure, but I think it's very beautiful and a very big challenge to make a game about kindness and friendship. Good luck all of you!

welp.

Question: Is the topic a suggestion or does the game have to be about the topic above?

I'd say the theme is not a only a suggestion, but it is not explicitly stated in the rules.

So, can I make a game where at certain points this year's theme is used even though it has a different main theme?

i think you can get zero to five points in every category. If your game did not fit in the theme you maybe get zero points in the theme category. If you find a creative way to fit the theme in the game, maybe you get 5 points. Everything else is in between 0-5 points. :) 

(That's how i vote :D)

Oh, well… I think I鈥檒l use the theme in the aspect, friendly aspect plus friendly common enemies. What do you think about it? Also, if this game gets 1st-10th place, I鈥檒l continue with it adding more and even more stuff.

Sure.
