BACK TO THE 80s

A Totally Radical 4-Week Game Jam!

Dust off your joystick, fire up the synthesiser, and crank the nostalgia up to 11. We're going BACK TO THE 80s!

Your mission? Make a game inspired by the decade of big hair, neon lights, cassette tapes, arcade machines and glorious 8-bit pixels.

Whether it's a game that could have been made in the 80s, runs on 80s hardware or a modern game that is set in the 80s the choice is yours.

Four weeks? That's, like, totally generous!

We know life gets busy. This jam runs for four whole weeks, so you can fit your game development around work, family and everything else. No need to pull an all-nighter.

The Rules of the Arcade

• Keep it 80s! Whether it's the setting, style, technology or gameplay, your game should have a clear connection to the decade. Submissions that don't will be removed.
• Any engine, any platform, any skill level. From BASIC to Unreal, it's all good.
• AI is tolerated, declare it if you use it, go fully offline for authenticity or anything in between.

Whether you're a seasoned developer or making your very first game, grab your virtual quarters and get creating.

Go and make something totally rad.
