The theme

The theme of the game jam is winter, and all games must incorporate elements of ice, snow, and/or wind into their gameplay.

The game must include the ability to allow a single player control at least two entities at once (although you could allow for co-op as well if you wish). This includes allowing the player to alternate between controlling different entities.

The deadline

Games must be made using Clickteam Fusion and submitted to The Daily Click by the 22nd of January 2023 (in recognition of time zones, this actually means 6:00 UTC on 23rd January).

The Pitch

Winter is a season of magic, of snowflakes and warm fires, of hot cocoa and cozy blankets. It's a time for creativity and imagination to flourish, and what better way to tap into that creativity than by participating in a video game making competition?

So bundle up, grab your computer, and let your imagination run wild. Think about the types of games you love to play in the wintertime, and let that inspire you. Maybe it's a snowboarding game set in the Swiss Alps, or a puzzle game set in a cozy cabin in the woods. Whatever you dream up, Clickteam Fusion is a powerful tool that can help you bring it to life.

But don't just do it for yourself. Think about all the other people who will be playing your game. How can you make it fun and exciting for them? How can you use the winter theme to create a unique and immersive experience?

So let's embrace the magic of winter and create something truly special. Join the competition, and let's see what we can accomplish together.
