yeah! I saw a lot like that too. My game CD Room is really bordering the edge, but I contacted some of the developers and they said as long as it includes discs in rooms, you're good. So, of course, I took that out of context and made a puzzle game that has nothing to do with disc room, but it follows all of the rules. Sometimes, you just gotta think outside of the box.
Viewing post in WHY ARE THERE SO MANY GAMES THAT DOESNT FOLLOW THE JAM THEME!
but like there are A LOT that have nothing to do with the jam. I’m sure they’ll be disqualified. For example, my game Reflection has been in development for 3 months, and I’m not looking for it to get anything out of here, I just wanted to release it. Of course, I heavily fucked up the lighting on the second level, so I’m taking it off the jam anyway. But yeah, there are a whole lot. Then there’s the other “CD Room” that stole my name and idea 😭
