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 GAMEBOY. Remember, theme is purely inspirational. Feel free to interpret it however you want.

You can use any engine you like. However, it is encouraged that you use GB Studio. GB Studio is a free and simple game engine that lets you create real Gameboy games!

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

The limitation for Mini Jam 30 is: Must have more than one playable character.

A simple character select at the beginning of the game will do, as long as said characters are different then each other in more than just appearance. But we all know that you can be much more creative then that. ;)

It is highly recommended that you join the official Mini Jam Discord server.

You can form a team, Show off your projects, Get reminders, and hanging out with a friendly community that likes making games. Be sure to drop by!
