WELCOME!
Mini jam is a 72-hour-long video game development jam that occurs every two weeks on Itch.io.
A required limitation is announced as soon as the jam starts to spice things up. Remember, limitation breeds creativity. You get the theme early, so you can plan ahead, Just keep in mind that you may have to change your idea when the limitation is revealed. This jam's theme is DOODLE. Remember, theme is purely inspirational and not required. Feel free to interpret it however you want.
No worries if you can't finish your game on time, you can submit late at anytime during the jam's voting period.
LIMITATION!
The limitation is a special condition that your game must follow, but is open to interpretation. If you are unsure if your idea doesn't fit the limitation just remember that everyone will interpret it differently.
The limitation is: Only One Room
This limitation has a lot of room for creativity. Your game may only contain one room. What constitutes as a room? A room is any closed off space with at least 3 connecting walls or partitions. However, your game doesn't necessarily have to take place in said room. There simply can only be one. Feel free to think outside the box with this one.
Q: Can I have more than one roomA: I'm not sure how you could infer that from the text above
Q: Can my player leave the room?A: Yes
