Any kind of game is okay! But always remember that it needs to fit the theme.
This is an exclusive engine jam. Only submissions created using the Scratch or Scratch mods, such as Gandi IDE or TurboWarp, will be allowed.
You must upload it as HTML5. Remember to make it playable in the browser. Submissions not including this will be removed. Gandi IDE can help you, and Here is a step-by-step guide for you.
Teams are okay! You can create solo or in a group. Gandi IDE's collaboration feature can help your team.
You can use certain assets or code snippets from your previous project, but it is not recommended to copy an entire project directly. Please make sure not to use someone else's project. Remember, the fun of a Game Jam lies in the challenge of creating something new within a limited timeframe.
Any attempt to obtain NG through fraud or other means is not allowed. The team takes these situations seriously. Enjoy Scratch Game Jam.
