What is "RID GameJam: Rhythm"? 

The game jam is about creating a game related to the theme "Rhythm", hosted by the RetroIndieDev discord server. But this time only games made for the Nintendo 3DS will be allowed! 

If your game does not work on this console, you will unfortunately be disqualified.


Rules

- participating games must be original, not a clone or a fan made -


- Teams are allowed, if you need help you can ask for it in the community tab and maybe someone will help you -


- You can use your own, public, free or paid resources -

- You can make the game with any tool you want -

as long as you respect the fifth rule. 


- Your game MUST be playable on a Nintendo 3DS family system - 

if it doesn't even work on a new3ds you will be disqualified. 


Although the theme of the game jam is "Rhythm", your game does not necessarily have to be a game of that genre, it can be a novel about a pianist who lost his sense of rhythm or anything you can imagine!

There will also be a secret theme that will be revealed halfway through the game jam.


SECRET THEME!

"Desaprovechado" or "Wasted"

something that has had the opportunity to improve in some way and has not done so.
