No matter your skills in game development, this will be the hardest game development challenge you've ever encountered. Every team is welcome regardless of age, team size or experience.

Teams in this jam will through blood, sweat and tears, try to develop the best, hardest and most fun game in 48 hours.

There will be two VERY QUALIFIED AND PROFESSIONAL judges who will decide on the best and the hardest games submitted, and additionally, the participants will vote on a community favourite game in several categories(see: Criteria, voting and limitations). All of these winners + some honorable mentions will be featured on our youtube channels. (https://www.youtube.com/@tickMark04, https://youtube.com/@codingcrate)

Are you ready to work harder than ever? In this jam, you have to fit the most challenging and kinda stupid criteria you've ever heard of.
