Rules

  • Submission must make sound of some sort.
  • Any size of team is allowed.
  • Do not start before the jam. Existing tooling or boilerplate code is fine.
  • No copyright infringement. Assets are fine if you own the rights.
  • No hate. Be kind toward your fellow jammers and judges.

Rating criteria

Ratings are open to the public for one week with these categories:

  • Audio. Does it sound good?
  • Feel. Does it play well?
  • Wow. Do you like it?

Bonus points

  • Consider universal design to maximize who can enjoy your creation. For example: allowing multiple input types, having a textless interface, supporting screen readers, including a visual component, and/or providing haptic feedback.
  • Upload a browser build if possible. Executables, ROMs, and VSTs are fine too.
  • Share your progress during the jam.
  • Share your source code after the jam.
  • Please rate and comment on other submissions.
