Welcome to MelonJam 3!

In this game jam, we are inviting both beginners who have little to no major game development experience, especially high schoolers, and more advanced developers.  The theme of the game jam will be announced at July 22nd 5:00 PM PDT (12:00 AM UTC), and the game jam will end at July 24th 5:00 PM Pacific Time (12:00 AM UTC).

Your game will be judged by professionals under the following criteria :

• Gameplay, or how well the game squeezes out value from its mechanics
• Graphics, or how impressive the project looks
• Game Feel, or how appropriate the controls feel (snappy platforming, impactful heavy attacks, or the like). 
• Innovation, or how “new” a concept in the game is (new graphics, new gameplay, new interpretations of old concepts, etc.)
• Theme, or how interesting the game's interpretation of the game jam's theme is.

Games that have a lot of thought and work put into them will be awarded prizes, which will be posted on the Devpost link. The actual winners will be announced July 31st 5:00 PM PDT (12:00 AM UTC).

We wish you the best of luck and are excited to see your creations!
