Summary:
Since the Dawn of Last Tuesday, when Quasi decided on a whim that he should do a game jam for shits and/or giggles, Enoreth Digital has demanded SACRIFICES.
Games, to feed the boredom of gamers around the world...
Games themed around... Winter! And Fish!
And try to make it funny! Your game might be janky, ridiculous, or even outright bad! That's half the fun! You have a week; of course, it won't be perfect!
Rules:
- While the jam 'starts' on April 1st, we're opening the floor early! Just make sure most of the work happens for this jam—please no submitting old, finished projects!
- This entire jam is for fun! Be sure to be a good sport and have a good time!
- Please hold off on NSFW, just since I'd like to play these on stream.
- You must use one of the two themes! Even if it's just a little nod, but you'll be rated on theme usage so it's best to make it a core part!
- Please specify if you're using GenAI, just tagging it on itch should be fine. Just be sure to keep it to placeholders, we value human jank over AI slop! Though we understand not everyone can draw.
Bonus Challenges:
- Have at least one character hit by a fish. Could be a slap, could be having a literal fish punch them. Anything goes!
- Have a character that only says one thing.
- Include an optional objective that seems really hard, but is actually trivial.
- Include a credits theme with vocals. (You can use sources like Dova Syndrome or other royalty free music providers, or simply record them yourself!)

- Wait, That Was Hard? - Best use of the hard but trivial bonus challenge. (Winner - Fish Game)
- Majestic Jank - Most charmingly broken, or scuffed game. (Winner - Sawblades and Fish)
