Here are a few tips to help you kick off your jam.

Start Small: Begin with a simple, clear idea you can realistically finish in the time you have. You can always expand it if time allows! Draw a sketch/write out a concept as your entry point.

Focus on the Core: Decide on one key mechanic or feature that makes your game unique and prioritize it.

Time Management: Break your time into smaller chunks for brainstorming, development, testing, and polishing. Make sure you account for time for game submission and page.

Don’t Overthink it: It doesn’t have to be perfect — dive in, have fun, and see what you can create!

Leverage the Community: Need help or inspiration? Ask questions, share your progress, and bounce ideas off others.

Good luck and happy Smashing! 😂🤗
