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

Mini Jam involves a limitation that is announced as soon as it starts to spice things up. Remember, limitation breeds creativity.

You get the theme early so you can plan ahead, Just keep the limitation in mind. This jam's theme is MAGIC. Remember, theme is purely inspirational. Feel free to interpret it however you want.

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

The limitation as voted by the public is... Your game must take place in one screen. You may only use one static view without scrolling/moving the camera. You also may not move the background to emulate movement of the camera.
You may have game objects, such as menus, slide off screen.

Feel free to ask in the community section or on our Discord if you have any questions.
