You may work alone or on a team.  If you're under the age of 13, a parent or guardian should upload the game.

There is no limit on the number of people per team, and you may be on multiple teams, however, please know your limit!

You must upload a digital game to itch.io, which is playable by someone using a Windows PC. Your game should not require additional hardware or software to run.  The game should be suitable for a general audience, so we recommend you avoid strong language and excessive gore. 

Your game should not contain nudity, or hateful language or visuals.

The itch upload limit is 1GB. You can compress your game as a ZIP file if needed.

Submissions are accepted across multiple platforms (PC/console, mobile). To qualify for the finalist pool, your game must be ported to Android or Windows. Mac porting is optional. Analogue games, games created on proprietary platforms, or those requiring an emulator are not eligible.
