This is my first game jam. Any tips?

I've made a few games on my own but this is my first jam. Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

dont overscope. if you think your idea is small enough - make it twice smaller

i've participated in a dozen of jams and so far I never got the scope right

I've only done two and couldn't finish either because of over-scoping.

Think first before u start working, plan your time.

Don't overscope, it could really mess up your game jamming experience! And unless you want it to be very hard, don't make it too hard, it is very easy to make a game harder without thinking about it. (Tip: Have other people playtest your game, that will determine how hard it is.)
