You need to incorporate the Theme into your game in some way and before you submit it, you will need to write atleast 1 short sentence about how your game fits the Theme of the game jam. It's completely up to you how you interpret the theme. Feel free to be creative with it.

Theme: Champions of the Elements

Bonus Challenges: Unlike the Theme, these are entirely optional. Feel free to do one, two, all of them or ignore them completely.

For this game jam, the optional challenges are the following three:

1 - Multiple Beginnings: There's more than one main character with different backgrounds and you play as each one of them in a separate section before they all meet up.

2 - Elemental Puzzle: There's a puzzle in the game that somehow involves the four classical elements: Fire, Water, Earth and Air.

3 - Necklaces of Power: There's an emerald necklace, a sapphire necklace, a ruby necklace and a citrine necklace in the game. These four items are plot-important, powerful artifacts.
