Hey folks! It’s time for a mini game jam! I mean, a big game jam! Or, wait… uh… a big mini game jam? Look, the theme for this mini game jam is **Big Things** , you get what I mean! That’s right! Consider this the sequel to [tiny jam](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-26-tiny-jam/35109) cause we’re looking for games that embody the concept of **Bigness**! That could mean a game with big sprites, or a big screen, or maybe just big ideas… It’s up to you! Some examples of good interpretations of this theme: - A game where you have to battle giant monsters even though you’re just a normal-sized guy like in [Shadow of the Colossus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_of_the_Colossus) or [Horizon Zero Dawn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horizon_Zero_Dawn) - A game where you ARE a giant monster and you’re attacking a city like in [Rampage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rampage_(franchise)) or [Godzilla: Destroy all monsters](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godzilla:_Destroy_All_Monsters_Melee) - A game where you have to make something as big as possible like in [Katamari](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katamari) or [Donut County](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donut_County) As always, you can interpret this however you want so long as it’s obvious how your game relates to the theme. ## Rules 1. Games should be built in MakeCode Arcade 2. Games should clearly adhere to the theme without the need for any extra explanation 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 until the last Friday of the month to enter! That means get your games in before **Friday, February 27th**! As always, we’ll be playing all of the entrants on livestream at 1:00 PM PT on that Friday ---

This theme reminds me of the game EXO One. It was finally ported to Steam and I was in love for like a week. Basically you are a sphere and left clicking increases your gravity, so you use gravity to roll around massive terrain filled worlds. There is a demo on steam. Idk how I would make a Makecode game out of that idea, but just putting it out there as another inspiration. ---

Man, If I wasn’t caught up in schoolwork right now I got some great ideas that anyone else is glad to yoink! A Monster Hunter style where you hunt bizarre creatures with incredible weapons! A base builder where you construct a fortress to fight growing waves of enemies, kind of like Dead of Night from StarCraft 2. A game where you pilot a massive machine and battle with other giant creations kind of like Armored core or pacific combat where Destroyers fight one another! ---

Question: Can we update our games once we have submitted it or when we submit it the game must stay that way? [Next page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-mini-game-jam-33-big-jam/41868.md?page=2)
