Welcome to the first annual NES jam! 


This is an annual game jam for the retro gaming community. It's main idea is as follows:

Following the limitations of the NES, what can be made?

  • All submissions must run at the resolution  256 × 240 and at 60 FPS.
  • You have to stick to the NES color palette.
  • There can only be 4 different palettes on screen, each having 4 colors. (1 Color may be fully transparent)
  • Everything is split into 8×8 chunks, this includes moving and static objects.
  • Each 8×8 'chunk' can only have 1 palette's colors. Similarly, chunks can be flipped/rotated at 90° intervals.
  • You can only have 256 different chunk sprites.
  • You can only use the D-pad, A, B, select, and start as input for your game.
  • All sound and music must be chiptune.
  • For more information, see NES Dev Wiki.
