Technical & Creative Tips
Use the Limitation:
  • The theme or limitation is part of the rating criteria; leverage it creatively for better reception.
Optimize for Accessibility:
  • Provide a WebGL version if possible—it gets more plays and feedback.
  • Offer cross-platform support (Windows, Linux, etc.) if you have time.
Balance and Feedback:
  • Keep difficulty manageable; cut complexity until it feels fair and fun.
  • Test frequently and gather feedback from friends or the jam community.
Don’t Overload:
  • Focus on gameplay before investing time in visuals or sound.
  • Avoid "painting the room and replacing furniture" (metaphorically)—don’t reinvent the wheel during crunch time.
