Also, optionally:
- Join the itch.io jam page where we would like for you to upload the resulting game too, so it is more accesible and can be added to our game archive: Itch.io Archive

Theme
The themes are generated at the start of the jam by taking random pairs of words submitted by participants. They will be added at the top of this page after the start of the jam.
Theme word rules:
- Should only be one English word.
- Should not be a game genre (e.g. FPS, RTS).
- Keep it safe for work.
Our theme process ensures unique and challenging themes each jam. The themes are there for inspiration during brainstorming but you can pick something else as well.
