🏆 THE THEME:

The theme is "UNDER PRESSURE"!

The theme is revealed when the jam begins.

🏆 PRIZE:

The 1st/2nd place submissions will win gift cards for a platform of the winner's choosing (e.g. Steam, Itch.io) - $15 and $10 in that order! If the winning submission is made by a team, each member will get an equal split of the prize. I'll contact the submitter of the winning project shortly after the results are revealed to sort out the prize.

📋 RULES:

The rules are as follows:

1. Try to make your game relevant to the theme.
2. You cannot submit a game that you made or started making before the jam began. The game must be specifically for this jam. Also, it is preferred that all assets are created during the 72-hour jam time. You can use premade assets, but you MUST declare them (NO code or art from AI e.g. ChatGPT)!
3. You can work solo or as part of a team of any size.
4. No excessive/offensive gore or horror. Try and make something suitable for all ages!
