• The Jam starts on Saturday the 6th of October at 00:00 UTC.

• The Jam ends on Saturday the 13th of October at 00:00 UTC.

• The game must be made with Unity.

• It's a solo jam.

• There is a theme that must be respected as well as basic mandatory features that must be implemented to match the theme.

• For your game to be playable and testable, it must be built for at least one of the following platforms :

  • Windows

  • WebGL

• You're free to use any graphical and audio resources you want, you don't have to create them from scratch.

• You can use old code, tools, external libraries and assets from the Unity Store. But nothing that directly adds gameplay for you.

• You must include the source code of your project made during the jam when submitting your game.

We highly recommend the game to be 2D. You can do as you want, but most provided resources (assets, links) will be about 2D.

Building for several platforms is easy with Unity!

Keep in mind that the more platforms you distribute your game to, the more chances your game has to be played and rated!

Shoot 'em up is a subgenre of the shooter genre of video games. In a shoot 'em up, the player character moves forward automatically, often in a flying vehicle such as a spacecraft or aircraft, shooting large numbers of enemies while dodging obstacles.

All the subgenres of Shoot 'Em Up you can find on the page above (Rail Shooter, Run 'N' Gun, Bullet Hell, etc...) are included within the theme !

Here are some useful links that may help you. They also indicate what is the jam about coding-wise (for the mandatory features at least).
