Welcome to the..

MINIMALIST GAME JAM

_________________________________________________________________

Games don't have to be complicated to be fun.

That's what The Minimalist Game Jam is about.

You have around 5 days to make a simple game where the gameplay is defined about 1 rule. Keep it abstract with using shapes as characters or simple geometry figures, (look at insparation below) and show how games can be simple, and fun.

PRIZES

You get bragging rights and a spot on my itch.io page for a month.

Further prizes might be coming soon.
