The NES Jam is all about creating games that capture the look and feel of the classic Nintendo Entertainment System!
All assets must be created during the jam.

"Whether they're simple and easy or frustratingly addictive, we play games to have fun!"
How does your game look?
"Go for a classic NES style without stressing over hardware limitations!"
How does the music sound? How are the sound effects?
"Rocking chiptunes are not required, buuut greatly appreciated!"
