You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Polar Expedition

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Land of Ice and Snow: The game is set in some cold, snowy area.

2 - Don't Freeze: The game includes a mechanic that requires the player to maintain body heat (such as by heat sources or finding shelter from the cold etc).

3 - Blood on the Snow: There's a scene in the game where the player character finds bloodstained snow.
