Super excited for this as my first ever game jam! I was wondering, can the game include platforming elements (side scrolling, gravity, jumping, etc) or not?
Awesome, excited to have you join! Yes the game can include platforming elements, but platformer and top-down shooter can't be its primary genre. For example, it can be a platforming RPG, which would have something a bit more interesting to it than just a basic platformer.
