3. Engines & Tools: You are completely free to use any game engine (Unity, Godot, Unreal Engine, Construct, WebGL, etc.) or custom tech stack.

4. Theme Alignment: Your game must incorporate the official theme announced at the start of the jam.

5. Format: Web-playable builds (WebGL / HTML5) are strongly recommended for easy evaluation, but standalone desktop builds (Windows / macOS / Linux) are also accepted.
