My reasons:
Since I love IDLERS It would be really nice if you could make an IDLE game, But you are free to make whatever kind o game you like!
About this Jam:
This game Jam will lasts 20 years so Its highly advisable , you make a pixel-art game, since it will last for longer. graphics usually updates every once in a while so make sure you make a pixel art game that will stand...
You can also submit your past games!
But keep in mind they will compete with games 20 years ahead of us...
What happens If I die?? I dunno dude but I am still 35 and very healthy. So I have hopes! lol ...
