🎮 No Combat Jam 🎮

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!

❔ What Does "No Combat" Mean? ❔

"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!
