We’re challenging you to push your limits. Take part of the journey with us to skill up and build your own most desired experiences. 

Parasite.

Something lives within something else. It takes, it gives, it changes — quietly or violently. You may not always see it, but you will feel its presence. Whatever it is, the game cannot exist without it.

Creative: How you managed to creatively target the theme.

Gameplay: How did the game flow, did it have tight controls, what was your experience while playing.

Aesthetics: How well does the game utilize its visual style and how appealing is it.

Game Requirements

• Create a game based on the theme 
• Modifications of pre-existing games are not allowed — your project must be original.

Team Requirements

• You can work as a solo developer or in a team of up to 3. Don't have a team? Come join our Discord!
• All team members must be listed (not inside the game).

Submission Requirements

• The game project must be started and fully completed within the Game Jam's designated period: [Monday, January 19th - Sunday, January 25th]
  
• You may submit the project to 2 game jams. One of the two includes our game jam.
• Submit your game through itch.io.

Asset & Model Usage

• You may use free or paid online assets, such as models, sprites, sounds, etc.
• However, any asset created during the jam period (by someone else) must be made by a team member listed in your description.
• If someone contributes something during the jam (even just a model), they count as a team member.
