Submissions will be voted upon by all of the participants based on certain criteria outlined here.  In order to submit, you have to:

1. Return to the homepage of the game jam and click the Submit button
2. This will redirect you to a project page, where you'll have to upload your game (as an EXE or whatever Mac runs) as well as set up the rest of the page's descriptions, tags, titles, and relevant art (thumbnails).
3. Once this page has been made, return to the jam page, go back through the Submit button, but this time search for an already existing game until you find the one you just made. Click it and submit it.

• Although you can start planning and speculating before the game jam commences, you may not create any assets or artwork or files for the game jam until it starts. This is to ensure an even playing field and to really test your abilities to work in a crunch,
• Once the jam has started, you're allowed to use any resources you can find to create your game; imagination's the limit. Just be warned that you'll also be voted for based on creativity and design and whatnot!

Voting can be done by everyone who submitted to the game jam, and we'll do a vote in class just in case. Each voter has to rate at least 1 random entry (they will be recommended 3, though) in order to make sure that everyone gets a vote. The criteria is out of 5 stars, and it goes as follows:

• Creativity of Concept: How creative was the concept of the game you played? Did you think it was executed well and made good use of the theme?
• Engaging Gameplay: Did you find the game fun to play? Any compelling mechanics?
• Art, Sounds, & Design: Did the artwork, game/level design, or sounds stick out to you? Were they interesting or stylized, and did you think that helped the game's concept?
• Friendly Interface: Was the game easily accessible?
• Bugs: pretty self-explanatory, were there bugs?
