Welcome to the Fusion Frenzy Game Jam. This is a fun game jam for people to partake in over the course of two weeks to push your creativity.

This game jam is open to everyone and anyone who wants to join, ranging from beginners who have never made a game before, to more experienced devs. This is all for fun and a learning experience.

The Fusion Frenzy Game Jam is all about creativity and pushing boundaries. You must mix and match different genres to create new gaming experiences.

THE THEME IS DIMENSIONAL DUALITY

After the submissions end, Monday 1st April at 6PM BST, there will be 7 days for you and everyone to vote on your favourite games. The voting will be based on 4 different categories. See down below.

You can work by yourself, or in teams, it completely up to you. You can also create any type of game you want. 2D? 3D? Retro? It's all up to you.

You have 14 days to create the best game you can following the theme which is announced on the starting day.
