Six habits for a short jam

Plan ahead

Write down your ideas in list form. Don't get too detailed, but have an idea of how you'll implement them.

Small scope

Base your game around one novel concept, or one thing done well. Stick to simple mechanics and consider what's essential.

Reuse as much code as possible

Borrow from past projects and other games. Don't be worried about sloppy code. If it works, use it.

Don't get distracted

Don't follow other people's blogs and projects. Turn off your net connection if you have to.

Keep planning and revising

Keep making lists of what to do next. Make plenty of them optional.

Reserve the last day

Spend it on bug-fixing, playtesting and polish.

You can use any third-party art, music or audio as long as you hold the licence to use it or credit the owner.

Tao Tao!
By Nicole Onyiego
Platforms: Windows · Web
- casual
It's 7:30 AM at a Nairobi matatu stage and you're a people-pleaser who never says no, but today you HAVE to make it to work by 8:00. Conductors grab you and drag you onto the WRONG matatu "Tao tao! Ingia, iko na space!", a hawker wants you to buy every phone charger he owns, and the traffic stops for no one. Say NO twice to send each conductor off in his own matatu, out-NO the hawker, and catch your TOWN matatu before it leaves. A short, wobbly, physics comedy about learning to say no. Swahili and Sheng lines have English subtitles. Plays in the browser, on desktop and mobile.
