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: Northern Saga

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 - Village Raid: The game starts with a scene of a village being plundered.

2 - Valkyrie: There's a valkyrie in the game.

3 - Runes of Power: The game includes magical runes that make the player's character stronger in some way.
