Fit the themes for the jam?

Gloves Ultra is a web based helper app for FIST that can randomly generate characters, mission types and a building map with the option to play the map in a turn based style using FIST rules and D6 rolls.
PS What themes would work best in gloves?
I produced a basic FPS game in a recent game jam with a bit of a Sci-Fi horror theme that I would like to rework for this jam?
What do you think it would need to make it more spooky/horrible?
PS You can try the old JAM version here: Paroxysm : Alcatraz by Arowx (itch.io)
So what about a 64 x 64 FPS, and threw together some assets models in Unity and managed to make this mockup:
The image shows the number of enemy robots left a health bar and ammo, a green crosshair over the distant (few meters away) red robot.
Will add a scope so player can go ADS on distant enemies.
The idea is a free flowing FPS game but in a maze with 4096 enemie robots to destroy.
Closer look at enemy robot and changed the players gun colour as it looked like part of the robot.
Should I try and make this?
For instance I made GLOVES https://arowx.itch.io/gloves-ultra
Would you consider opening up the JAM to digital entries?
Found this bigger cover image of Commando.
But also found this better looking Atari cover...
Then there is the Capcom art
And this capcom art with a more modern style gun and without the unneeded (*?) belts of ammunition.
Ideally I would make a game that uses the Capcom character and M16 style gun combined with the enemy elements in the other covers.
Then there was this one but it's so unbelievable, no helmet, no sleeves, just a knife or a 4 round rocket launcher and grenades, hooked by their pull to arm rings.
*The commando seems to be holding a magazine fed gun but carries one or two loops of belt fed ammunition.
Well I managed to get the simplest FPS to nearly be a playable game.
Basically zombies moving in on the player and old school raycasting as a gun (DOOM original version).
No crosshairs or bullet counters but a score, also no shot delay mechanic and the no game over state.
Code weighs in around 878 characters
public class K:M{T t;float s=30f;List<t> z=new List<t>();int u=0;public U w;
void Start(){t=transform;t.position=v(0,1.5f,0); T g=c(Q.Plane,V.zero,v(100,0,100));
for (int i=0;i<100;i++){V p=A.insideUnitSphere+A.onUnitSphere*50f;p.y=0f;
T x=c(Q.Cube,p,v(1,2,1));x.name="Z"+i;z.Add(x);}}T c(Q q,V p,V s){T n=G.CreatePrimitive(q).transform;
n.position=p;n.localScale=s;return n;}void Update(){float a=Time.deltaTime; float b=a*s;
t.Translate(v(i("H"),0,i("V"))*b);t.Rotate(v(0,i("X"),0)*b);V p=t.position;
foreach(T e in z){e.LookAt(p);e.Translate(V.forward*a);}
bool h=I.GetButton("F");R y=new R(p,t.forward);H j;List<t> d=new List<t>();
if(h&&P.Raycast(y,out j,100f)){T r=j.transform;if(r.name[0]=='Z'){d.Add(r);u+=10;}}
foreach(T f in d){z.Remove(f);G.Destroy(f.gameObject);}w.text="SCORE "+u;}
float i(string s){return I.GetAxis(s);}
V v(float x, float y, float z){return new V(x,y,z);}}
And that's with a lot of class name to character assignments and changes to the names of inputs.
//game expects to be on the default camera in a scene /* Need to rename Inputs * Horizontal to H * Vertical to V * Mouse X to X * Fire1 to F * w needs to link to a TextMeshProGUI label for the score * */ using T = UnityEngine.Transform; using G = UnityEngine.GameObject; using V = UnityEngine.Vector3; using I = UnityEngine.Input; using R = UnityEngine.Ray; using H = UnityEngine.RaycastHit; using P = UnityEngine.Physics; using Q = UnityEngine.PrimitiveType; using A = UnityEngine.Random; using M = UnityEngine.MonoBehaviour; using U = TMPro.TextMeshProUGUI;
Unless I can find or figure out some other ways to reduce the size of the code base in C# or maybe write a wrapper API that does things via one character method calls not sure I could create an FPS in 500 characters in Unity.
The questing is should I submit this as an entry?
