The theme is:

The number one rule is have fun! What's the point if it's not fun?!

This jam will be voted on by the public; anyone is welcome to vote! We do monitor voting. We reserve the right to disqualify your game for "fake" votes to get it rated higher for the prizes.

Submissions will be judged on 5 criteria: art style, gameplay, creativity, audio, and how well it fits the theme. So give it your all!

Prizes are:

• First place winner(s):
  • An additional 20 tickets to the raffle below and a Swords 'n Magic and Stuff Steam Key (up to 4 for a group)
• The top 3 games will be played on stream by Kindred on Twitch the Tuesday following the end of submission voting. This is also when all results will be public.
  
• Raffle! Earn tickets to be placed in a raffle for $25 in Steam Credit (even for people who did not submit a game!)
  • For submitting a game to the jam, earn 10 tickets per person connected to the game jam page
    
  • For giving quality comments (things more substantial than "good game"; up to Moderator discretion) on games after playing and rating, earn 1 tickets per comment
  • For quality comments that get more than 10 likes, earn an extra 2 tickets
  • There may be more options for tickets as the jam starts
  • The winner will be announced on or before September 10th after voting has ended. Any comments made after the voting timeframe will not be counted.
• Everyone wins a feeling of accomplishment for making a game!
