[Announcement] MakeCode Arcade Mini Game Jam #13 - Hacking Jam

Hey
This isn’t your usual mini game jam post first off its posted by me and not @richard posting this most of the time mini game jams get posted Monday but Monday was a holiday and we haven’t gotten our mini game jam since so I’ve decided to make a topic because they haven’t made one since

We’re looking for games about Hacking. You can interpret that theme any way you like, but it should be obvious how your game relates to the theme.

For example, a game that’s a hacked version of another game, a game were you hack have to hack enemy’s to get to a area, or a game were you have to hack though some things to stop scammers are all good interpretations of the theme.

Rules

  1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade
  2. Games should clearly adhere to the theme
  3. Keep the games PG: no NSFW, offensive, or excessively violent content.
  4. You must be at least 9 years old to participate.
  5. All games must be submitted by someone who is at least 13 years old. Younger students are welcome to participate, but it must be in partnership with an adult and with parent permission.

You have two weeks to enter! The jam will close at 11:59 PM PDT on Thursday, September 21th 2022

Submit your games by posting them in this thread!

Note for the mods
If any of the mods don’t like me posting something like this because @richard hasn’t done it feel free to message me and don’t approve the topic. Also if yall do recognize this as mini game jam 13 pls pin so we can get some games made

I have finished the game I am working on.
This is just a “demo” of a game, it’s the first level because I have more ideas that I don’t think I can make in the limit of the mini jam time.

Down button to interact with signs
A Button to interact with anything interactable that is not a sign.

Also theres special modes, if you wanna play them instead of having to restart over and over again I have them linked below.
