What is Stencyl?

Stencyl is a game development toolset that allows anyone to create virtually any kind of 2D game without having to write a single line of code (though you can code if you want to).

Download Stencyl for free.

The free version of Stencyl allows you to make HTML5 and Flash games, which are perfect for the jam!

Judging & Prizes

A panel of judges will be organized by Stencyl. Games will be judged based on a variety of criteria, including: fun, innovation, thematic relevance, graphics, sound, and overall execution.

If your game is one of the top three entries, you'll receive a Stencyl Studio License. If you already have a Stencyl license, your current license period will be extended by a year.
