My only notes were a first-day brainstorm of ideas for games in a MS word file. I picked one and went with it (note--it's not clear how some would be made into games, just starting points, others are ideas for in-game mechanics, power-ups, etc.)
I ultimately went with a combo of Time Heals All Wounds, and each level in a different "time zone" (so, time travel). Submission is here: https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-community-jam/rate/640929
