Hey folks!
Over the years, we’ve seen so many amazing stories on this forum.
Who can forget the epic tale of Arcransis in the [DEFEND](https://forum.makecode.com/t/defend-the-castle-part-1-arcransiss-raid/2963) [THE](https://forum.makecode.com/t/defend-the-castle-part-2-our-raid-on-arcransis/2981) [CASTLE](https://forum.makecode.com/t/defend-the-castle-part-3-blues-breakout/3014) [saga](https://forum.makecode.com/t/defend-the-castle-part-4-the-final-battle/3031)? Or that time we all fell in love in a shopping mall in [True Love Time Machine](https://forum.makecode.com/t/announcement-makecode-arcade-time-jam-results/8378)? Or the touching tale of reunion that was [Slug N’ Slug 2](https://forum.makecode.com/t/slug-n-slug-2/6050)? And of course, we need not mention the epic adventures of [CoCo, Sam, and Captain Cat](https://forum.makecode.com/t/three-brave-cats-2-return-to-the-sea/14327).
For this month’s mini game jam, we want to hear more of your stories.
In other words, we’re looking for any game in which **story** plays a major role. You can include any other game mechanics that you like, but make sure your game weaves a tale with them.
## 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 two weeks to enter! The jam will close at **11:59 PM PDT on Monday, December 19th 2022**
**Submit your games by posting them in this thread!**
Extra points to any game that breaks through my iron shell of a heart and makes me cry.

@richard, would my Oregon Trail game count as a story game, or would it have to be more of a strong story. (I’m asking this, so I know how to make my game for this Mini Game Jam.)

My game’s going to be called snake eyes, and as part of it one of the charachters gets bitten by a snake. Would this be ok to include as long as there is no blood? or is that too violent? If I can’t show the snake bite happening, could I just make the character have a scar?

My game will be called “Satellite”! You will be remotely operating a satellite through different asteroid belts in order to collect data from a distant planet!

Here is my entry! In “Satellite”, your mission is to successfully pilot the satellite through asteroid fields in order to reach a far-off planet and collect data from it!

> Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade.
This is a 6-level asteroid dodging game. It saves your progress, but the game’s relatively short. The 6th level is kind of hard, however. 🛰
Enjoy! 🙂
> **Extra controls:**

> Press the menu button to reset the game. (Including game settings.)

Never mind about the Oregon Trail game. I’ll just stick with my new game!
