Welcome to Paint Jam 2018!

Paint Jam is a game jam based off the high tech, revolutionary, graphics editor that comes pre-installed on Windows whatever. This jam is for people who want an excuse to make a little game using only MS Paint as a graphics editing tool.

Rules

• Don't be a jerk.
• Use MS Paint. (Paint 3D is ok too!)

• Do not infringe copyright laws.
• Don't do something that will make me edit this rules section.
• Have fun!

Challenges
