    CONTEST IS CLOSED!


    Game Jolt's third contest is now up and running! Don't forget to check the rules and details below, and give it all you've got!

    Running Date:

    November 1st, 2009

    The contest will run for a week from November 1st to the midnight between November 7th and November 8th Eastern US Time. (view the end time in your timezone)

    The Theme:

    The theme is Minimal.

    This can be taken in many ways, such as minimalistic graphics, storyline, instructions, or even gameplay (though that may be a tricky one to tackle)!

    The Prize:

    Three winners will be picked. All three will be featured on the front page of the site. The first place winner will win a free single game of their choosing from Steam (no packs)! All contestants will also receive a Bloody Good Time -- courtesy of Game Jolt. OMG!

    The Rules:

    - Your entry must be an original game created just for this contest.

    - Your entry must relate to the chosen theme.

    - Collaborations are fine. Go for it with someone else! We like team work!

    - Multiple games can be submitted. (You can not place more than once, though. If you get first place with one game, you won't get second or third with another)

    - There are no restrictions on creation tools, libraries, file sizes or anything like that. We like diversity. Make it in Flash, make it in Construct, code it up from scratch yourself, we don't care. Just make sure it runs on a Windows operating system, or all the judges may not be able to play it.

    - Pre-existing game engines are acceptable.

    - You're encouraged to place the contest poster in your game, although it's definitely not a requirement.

    How to Enter:

    To enter your game into the contest, you must upload the game to the main site. After doing that, reply to this forum post with the URL to your game.

    In Closing:

    We'd love some help in spreading the news. If you frequent any forums, or know of/own any blogs, it'd be great if you posted news about the contest. This site will only get bigger with support from YOU. If you've posted it in your blog or in a forum, or know of any site that has, you may post the URL to the site in this thread: http://gamejolt.com/community/forums/topics/spread-the-word-game-jolt-compo-3/188/

    That's about it, guys. Let's have a bloody good time!

  • c-colors!? :D

  • Kind of looks like the little colored lights from a tv... I wonder what it could be!

  • well, RGB i guess...

  • make it CMYK! kicks RGB's ass.

  • Hmm... the theme could be "Television"... Or it could be "anything as long as it´s limited to these three colours"...

  • C-c-c-colours? am rite?

  • I'm thinking it's glow in the dark..!

  • Am psyched. Colors will be difficult, though for me... just like any other competition XD.

  • The theme will be:

    "What if the monolith from 2001: A Space Oddysee were brightly colored, instead of black? How would humanity have then evolved, and how would it have effected Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece?"-as-a-platformer

  • agrees with the above poster

  • @ Kitty- Who told you!?!?!

    @Everyone who can't see sarcasm through text I was being sarcastic in the above @ :D

  • The contest theme is officially changed to Kitty's suggestion. Bouaaaaah!!

    Just kidding, of course.

  • Oh man, I have such a hard time with colorful games.
