Rules
- You can work as a team with other people. However, prizes are per entry. So if your team wins a prize, you'll have to decide what to do with it.
- You can't use a game you're already working on, unless you started it less than a week before the start of the competition. You can, however, use pieces of code from your past games or from examples, just as you normally would when making a game. But remember that creativity is a major part of this competition, so you probably don't want your game to be too similar to another one.
- You can't use graphics from other games, commercial or otherwise, unless you modify them beyond recognition.
- Be creative.
- You can enter more than one game.
- There can't be any inappropriate material in the game (think E rating).
- The game can have a maximum of 3 levels.
- The game must be less than 6 MB.
Judging
These are the judging criteria:
- Adherence to the above rules.
- How creative and original your game is.
- Overall functionality and interface.
