General Information

This is an ONLINE game jam, and is open to all participants regardless of country of residence. 

Participants may join the jam as a solo developer, or in teams. There is no limit to the team size, however, we recommend keeping the team to a maximum of FOUR (4) members to ensure communications are smooth. 

There are no limits to the number of submissions each individual or team can submit. However, we strongly recommend that you focus on ONE (1) game during the duration of the jam. For the purpose of the draw for prizes, individuals and teams with multiple submissions will still count as ONE (1) entry towards the draw. 

Incomplete submissions are acceptable. However, do note that the submissions will be locked after the submission period ends on 10th March CET (Stockholm Time, GMT +2) 9PM and will remain locked until the end of the voting period. You may update your builds and submissions as many times as you like during the period of the jam. 

You may use any engine you wish to make your game, for any platform of your choosing. However, in the interest of making your submission accessible to as many players as possible, we recommend building for Windows, Mac, Android and/or WebGL (played in Desktop Browser on Itch.io ). Note that submissions must be uploaded to Itch.io , and WebGL submissions should be playable on Itch.io itself and not link to an external site. 

For the duration of the jam and the voting period, your game should be free in order for judges and the public to be able to easily access the game and vote on it.

1. Keep your submissions Safe for Work - This means no nudity, overt sexuality, pornography, or excessive violence and gore.

3. Submissions Must be Uploaded to Itch.Io - Submitting a link to an external site will disqualify your entry. 

4. Credit where Credit is Due - If you are using pre-made assets in your game, be it free or licensed, do include the information (and links where applicable) regarding the assets and their creators.
