Scratchers! Welcome to Scratch Game Jam #19.
Scratch Game Jam is typically a 14-day-long Scratch game development jam that occurs monthly on Itch.io. But this time around, there will be a few twists with one of them being a 5 day extension to that deadline, making it a 19 day long jam.
(20 day jam since the large majority of jammers couldn't access their coding IDE's)
We look forward to working with the next generation of creators to co-create the world.

The host is....
JamTheDev, a Penta-Jammer who has gotten 2nd place in the jam before, so it's safe to say that this jam is in good hands. >:)
HOST SPECIALS:
🎩 Keeping with recent traditions; for Scratch Game Jam 19, you will have a whopping 19 days to make your game!
🎩 All submissions will be hidden until the voting period starts. That way you need to focus more on your game instead of focusing on the other games already submitted!
🎩 There will be theme collections but instead of a final vote, Jammers will vote on the final few themes and the JUDGE will pick the jam theme.
🎩 A few criteria changes! Design and Presentation seemed a lil' similar, so we added them as one single criteria. Also, a returning criteria; Replayability!

ONLY GAMES MADE DURING THE JAM PERIOD ARE ALLOWED! ANY GAMES MADE FOR ANOTHER JAM, MADE BEFORE HAND OR HAVE ZERO RELATION WITH THE THEME WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!
