The Jam theme is “Egg.”
To participate, make a web-playable game that incorporates the theme and upload it here by end of day (PST) Sunday, July 25th. Include the tag “July-Jam-2021” so we find it.
You can use whatever tools you like and are allowed to work with teams. We highly recommend teaming up with artists and musicians here on NG!
Your game can’t include copyrighted characters or unlicensed music. For example, you can’t make a game with Mario sprites and Lady Gaga music.
You can however optionally pop the July Jam logo in your game!
If you’d like to add medals and high scores to your game, check out our API at Newgrounds.io. The project system portion of our API setup is getting a big update NEXT WEEK so check back in for that announcement.
Entries will be judged by @Figburn, @Eli and myself. Eli will also be hosting a stream where he plays all your games.
We’ve crowdfunded prize money!
