• The Jam (recommended for your first time) – 72 hour deadline, solo or team, mostly from scratch, opting out of the Graphics or Audio categories if yours isn’t original. Scored if you give enough feedback.
• Extra – 3 week deadline, solo or team, mostly from scratch, opting out of the Graphics or Audio categories if yours isn’t original. Take as few or as many days as you need. No score at the end, but you will get feedback if you submit early and give feedback.
