Hey folks!

It’s February, which means it’s time for yet another mini game jam! This month, we’re going to be harkening back to the [very first mini game jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-mini-game-jam-1-pigeon-deliverance/10137)… That’s right! It’s another **Level Design Jam**!

The game we’ll be making levels for is called **Rhombus Rush** , which is inspired by a certain geometrically-named game you’ve probably heard of… Check it out below:

> **[rhombus-rush](https://arcade.makecode.com/S07981-24142-83310-47383)**
>
> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.

At the end of this jam, I will stitch all of the levels together into one game and put it on the MakeCode Arcade home screen! It will also be featured on the MakeCode Arcade Xbox App (with credits).

Also, this game is multiplayer! You can play it online but it works best when you play it locally with controllers.

## How to make a level:

1. Visit the above share link
2. Click “Edit Code”
3. In the code workspace, you should see an open function with three array blocks. Edit one of the tilemaps to create your level
4. In the other two arrays, add a name for the level and a song to play. If you don’t want to make a song you can always just copy one of the existing ones!

## Types of tiles:

- **Spikes** will destroy the player if they touch them
- **Up Arrow** flips gravity so that you fall upwards
- **Down Arrow** flips gravity back the normal way so that you fall downwards
- **Double Up Arrow** will create a jump pad
- **Rocket Ship** transforms the player into a plane
- **Face Tile** transforms the player back into a square
- **Checkered Flag** marks the end of the level

Don’t worry about drawing walls when you make your level, the code will automatically set all the tiles to the correct state when the level starts!

## Rules

1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade
2. Games should be based off of the template game
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 Tuesday, February 20th 2024**

Submit your levels by sharing them in this thread!
