Welcome to the very first  Atom Interactive hosted Game Jam. The purpose of these week long events is to encourage new developers ,and veterans alike, to develop fun new games by providing a timeframe which is easy to work within. If by chance this Jam takes off and we see decent participation we will continue to host these events on a more regular schedule.

REQUIREMENTS:

• Innovation: Games must include a unique mechanic or feature that hasn't been widely used in existing games.
• Theme Integration: The game should integrate the theme in a meaningful way, whether through story, setting, gameplay mechanics, or art style.
• Accessibility: Games should be playable in browser, but executable builds are also encouraged.
• Sound Design: Try to incorporate original sound effects or music that complements the theme.
• Teams: Teams are allowed but try to keep the number of participants low so that you do not get overwhelmed. 

THEME:

The theme will be announced the day of the jam and will be voted for via discord poll in the week leading up to the jam.

JUDGING CRITERIA:

• Creativity: How creatively the theme and game mechanics are implemented.
• Gameplay: The smoothness, complexity, and originality of the gameplay mechanics.
• Artistic Design: The visual cohesion, style, and execution in relation to the theme.
• Technical Implementation: How well the game runs, especially regarding the innovative features and accessibility.
• Player Engagement: The games ability to keep players interested and engaged.
