Voting criteria:

• Gameplay
  • One of the most important features of games is that they should be fun. This criterion is supposed to reflect how well the mechanics and their implementation affect our entertainment.
• Audio
  • Audio is one of the most important components of immersion during a game. Don't forget to take care of this element as well. Properly selected music and sfx completely changes our perception of the game.
• Visuals
  • You don't judge a book (game) by its cover, but you have to admit it - games with nice visuals are cooler. 
• Ingenuity
  • Many games have already been developed, and in a lot of cases, the element of originality has become less prominent. This criterion speaks to how unique your game is.
• Relevance to the theme
  • Although interpretations of the theme can be many, in general it is possible to see if your game is related to the theme.  Additionally, when submitting your game, you will be asked a question about how you interpreted and implemented the theme into your project.
