Special thanks to @Kardboard for the lovely banner! 💋
Hello, again!!! If this is the first time you're hearing about the jam, you can click here to read the initial announcement. But if your brain is only capable of reading so much before it explodes into a hundred thousand little giblets, then I will reiterate! I'm someone who loves to make games, but since the majority of the world experiences the internet through a touch screen device nowadays, I rarely ever think about what my games would look like on a much smaller screen and with restricted controls - so I thought it'd be interesting to set you all a bit of a challenge:
You will have two weeks to make a game that is hosted on Newgrounds and can run on your phone!
ALSO: Making sure the game includes the following theme:
Thank you, @Andyl4nd for the theme announcement! ❤️
Lots of what? I'm not sure. It could be anything!
Lots of aliens...
Lots of cupcakes...
Lots of levels...
Lots of bullets...
Lots of money...
Lots of SOMETHING!!!
Rules:
🤠 You are allowed to use any engine you like! (As long as it can export a file that you can upload to Newgrounds!)
🤠 Your game needs to playable 100% of the way through WITHOUT the input of a physical keyboard or gamepad. (Feel free to add Keyboard + Gamepad controls as QoL for PC players!)
🤠 You can use premade assets, art and music but the majority of the game should be made within the timeframe.
🤠 Your game can be any rating or any genre.
🤠 You can make multiple submissions, multiple games and work on multiple teams. There is no limit to team size, either.
🤠 If you have any other questions, just DM me!
You will need to:
✨ Make sure your game includes the theme!
✨ Make sure the hosted game fits the resolution of your phone.
✨ Make sure "Touchscreen Friendly" is checked in your project settings!
✨ Tag it with mobilejam22 and upload it before August 15th! (Live Countdown)
I will be playing all of the games on Twitch either a day or two after the jam concludes. We'll play it by ear! ALSO if you're posting updates to Twitter while developing your game, tag it with #mobilejam22 so I can see them!
