Dates

Tentatively scheduled for Jan 23 - Feb 6, 2026.

Eligibility

Anyone at all! All you need is an interest in games :)

Submission Requirements

- On Itch, you'll be prompted to give a brief explanation of how your game incorporates one of our themes, and information on if you used any pre-made assets to make your game.

- We recommend that you have a web build for your game (meaning it can be played in browser) as you'll get many more ratings that way. At minimum, please provide a Windows build.

Winner Selection Criteria

Winners are chosen through Itch's community rating system, where participants play and rate other people's games.

• Theme: How well the game incorporated the jam’s theme. Extra points should not be awarded for including both themes, nor deducted for implementing only one.

• Gameplay: How smooth, engaging, and well-developed the game mechanics felt.

• Visuals: How appealing the game looked, including art style, graphics, and overall presentation.

• Audio: How effective the game’s sound design and music were in enhancing the overall experience.
