During the Mechanic Jam, you will be given a term describing a game mechanic. Submissions will be open for 10 days, followed by a two-day voting period. 

During these 10 days, you will be tasked with creating a game centered around the described mechanic. Your goal is to implement the mechanic as creatively as possible. 

The mechanic for this jam is:

Pushing Crates

Many games have crates that the player can push around, often as a means of solving a puzzle. Some games use this as their core mechanic, requiring the player to push crates into certain positions without getting them stuck. Other games, however, use them as part of a larger puzzle. Half-Life, for instance, has the player positioning crates to form stairways and block machinery, allowing the player to progress.

You cannot start working on your game until the 10-day submission period. After the submission period is over, a two-day voting period will take place, during which participants are encouraged to vote on each other's games. During the voting period, you will not be allowed to edit your submission.

Games will be judged on two criteria: Overall execution, and how creative your implementation is. There are no rewards for winners; voting is purely for fun.

Teams are allowed, but should ideally be no more than 5 people.
