Game Jam - Eon

🎯 Theme

CREATIVE FREEDOM

Build whatever you want for our first jam! There are no theme restrictions — make the game you've been itching to create. That said, games with a strong core loop are highly encouraged. Think replayable mechanics, score chasing, wave survival, endless runners, tycoon cycles, or any design that keeps players coming back.

Can be Single Player or Multiplayer.
