The theme is... Limited Space

All games will be peer voted after the jam has ended, upon 5 categories. Additionally my favorite game of the jam and it will  be known as "BenBonk's Choice".

Overall - How did the game come together overall, and how was the experience while playing?

Gameplay - How well did the game play? Was it fun? How was the overall design of the game?

Visuals - How were the art and animations in the game? Was there a good use of visual effects and polish?

Audio - How was the music and sound effects in the game. Did they enhance the player experience?

Theme - How well did the game fit the theme, and was the use of the theme creative and original?

Please make sure to follow the following rules:

1. Make the core game within the time period, you can use scripts and assets you have created before but make the actual game within the time period allotted.

2. If you are going to use any public, or non original assets, please credit them properly.

3. Please do not make any NSFW or extremely inappropriate games.

4. You may work solo, or in a team.
