The theme for this jam is ARENA.
An arena is a space built for conflict, competition, spectacle, or endurance. It can be a gladiator pit, a sports coliseum, a magical trial ground, a mech combat dome, or something abstract and unexpected. Interpret the theme in your own way and build something fun.
Your game might focus on waves of enemies, duels, score chasing, tournaments, survival challenges, crowd pleasing chaos, or mastery of a tight combat loop. The arena can be physical, social, psychological, or entirely symbolic.
Struggle, compete, WIN!
Step into the arena and bring an idea to life!
This beginner-friendly jam is all about creating a fun, playable game you’re proud to show off. Over the course of the weekend, challenge yourself to build a simple but engaging gameplay loop, something that feels good, something that exists because you made it.
All tools are welcome.
AI assistance is welcome.
Premade assets are welcome.
What matters most is finishing a playable experience and learning along the way.
At the end of the jam, we will play some of the game entries and upload a video to YouTube celebrating your hard work!
