IMPORTANT: MelonJam Theme and Access Codes
The Jam is on! Read on to find out the theme and get access to MelonJam-exclusive assets and tools.
If you're not quite familiar with how game jam themes work, it's good to remember that they are very loose. Let's say, for example that the theme was "Out of Control," as it was for this year's GMTK Game Jam. You could have games where:
