Where Creativity Takes the Spotlight—No Fighting, Just Pure Gameplay!
Welcome to the No Combat Jam, a unique challenge where your creativity shines! No weapons, no fighting—just engaging gameplay. Create a game without combat and explore new ways to captivate players. This one-week event is perfect for beginners looking to learn and experiment. Though there are no prizes, you'll gain valuable experience, make connections, and spark endless creative inspiration!
"No combat" doesn't mean no challenges. Use traps, time limits, or obstacles to create excitement. A tower defense game feeding customers instead of battling enemies is still "no combat." Even a heated debate or strategic race counts as non-combat—focus on engaging players without traditional combat!
