Clearly not for this jam. Good luck with your game though :)

Also note that if you leave a reply here and then delete your submission I won't be able to read it!

Nice, love this!

Hello there, I'm hiding this because it's solicitation. If you want to be a sponsor for the jam you're welcome to contribute something to the entrants via free gifts or prize offerings but the jam can't just be a digital billboard for anyone with something to sell.

Checked this out around 5 hours 5 minutes in!! https://cokegamingstudios.itch.io/revenge-of-the-exes

Such an incredible, in-depth entry. Congrats on the big win! 

Sent you a message on Discord about claiming your prize btw 🎉🎉

true that!

No problem, I'm late all the time.

Perfect! Follow the steps here and you'll be in the jam! https://itch.io/jam/412371/add-game/4232341/7763968?token=OVoKB7oQjmcsXJuVeoGNsE...

Yeah for sure!

Found your game, and just to note one thing, per Rule 2, the theme game name needs to not be in the title of your own game (ie Rogue or anything close eg Roguelike)

But other than that yes! Let me know when you updated the title and I'll send you the link to get your game in!

Had to disqualify this I'm sorry BUT! Please make an embeddable version to get your game requalified!

This looks awesome but it does seem it was not made for our jam, since it is submitted to multiple and it doesn't appear to be like Rogue in any recognizable way.

Technically there is no official rule against such entries, but unofficially and historically I've categorized these as "spam" submissions, and usually disqualified them. But since it is technically a "roguelike" it's a tougher decision... 

Ah, wait. There's no web version. I'm afraid I do have to disqualify this for at least that reason, and the context above. UNLESS you can get in a web version by the deadline and it is apparently intended for our jam. Which I kind of doubt.

I see your game is not gonna be called Rogue so this is just a reminder to update the title of the actual game page to not be too close to Rogue 😊

Hey!! Just a reminder to update the game name even though I'm sure this is not quite "the title", I'm just going through and making sure!

I love that, yes that's totally okay!!! 💜

Good idea! 😁 And yes, that name is all good!

Hey there! Just giving you a heads up that per Rule 2, your entry needs to have a name that doesn't include the word "Rogue" or anything too close!

Rule still applies!

See Atari's patent for example: https://uspto.report/TM/98354576

ETA: Roguelantis is a bit too close IMO. I'm imagining "Super Mario-lantis" or "Pokemonlantis" or "Baldur's Gatelantis" or "Pac-Manlantis" -- all sound like lawsuits to me 😆

No limit whatsoever!

But, only up to 4 members per team can win the premium Craftpix membership prize.

Share any others you know of here!!

Yes, totally fine! 

Just asking to help you find someone -- what kind of skills do you bring to the table? 👀

That's up to you! 

Few points for you to consider:

1. Take a look at the past Game-like jam entries/winners. There's a wide variety
2. A top winner is specifically chosen for their "creative twist" on the original!
3. Nobody is going to stop or disqualify you for taking the game wherever you want.

With that said, I think it's worth taking inspiration from the original that's embedded/linked on the jam page. But you're free to do with that what you want 😁

TL;DR the jam is for you to learn and make what you want, above all else!
