What is Bored Pixels Jam?



Bored Pixels Jam is a game jam where you make a themed pixel game for a week. I honestly just created it because I'm bored and I'm waiting for school to start. Also I love making pixel art! It'll be fun to see a bunch of bored (or not bored) people make some pixel games for everyone to enjoy.

What are the things I should know about before joining?

You don't have to be in a team to join you can go solo or not. There's no limit to how many team members you can have.

This is a ranked jam. People would be rating your game based on relevance to the theme, creativity, gameplay, visual experience, and audio experience. Based on these, awards/titles such as Theme Clinger, Most Creative, Best Gameplay, Eye Pleaser, and Ear Pleaser will be given and the winners will be announced after the two-week voting period is done.

You can only use assets that you make!

You can use any game engine.

Your game must be made within the time constraints of the jam.

You're allowed to have more than one entry but it's advised to stick to one and concentrate on polishing it.

The game you make must be free for people to have easy access on it.

NSFW content is allowed. Heavy topics are allowed as well but please refrain from being racist, sexist, transphobic, or generally a hate-spreading person.

Remember this is a jam for PIXEL ART games!

Get creative and have fun!! ;D

Are there any prizes?



Sadly, all I can give you is the validation from a title and a Discord role once you win overall. BUT!! There is also the satisfaction of finishing a game in a limited time frame plus you get to interact with other people too and enjoy their games :D

Have some useful stuff!!
