End of year 1...


Mini jam is a 72 hour long, game development jam for independent game developers that occurs every two weeks.

You get the theme early so you can think of the perfect idea... and then have it teared to shreds by the limitation.
This jam's theme is CELEBRATION. Remember, theme is purely inspirational. Feel free to interpret it however you want.

The limitation determines what you can, can't, and must do for your project. The limitation will be announced as soon as the jam begins in the limitation section below, on the Mini Jam Discord server, and on the Mini Jam Twitter.

Remember, If you enjoyed a game you played from the jam, please give it feedback!

The limitations determine what you can and or must do with your game.

The limitation of this jam as suggested and voted on by the community is Surprise us (Staff chooses)
