6. You must have a settings screen / pause menu. 
This must include: Volume control, pausing the game, ability to quit the game. 
7. Have fun with it!

Judging:
 

Judging will be based on the following criteria:

1. Theme Relevance - How well does your game work with the theme? Games all have to be based on the theme but don’t be afraid to explore all the different ways to approach the theme. Think outside the box!

2. Creativity/Originality - We love quality games, but we also want games that grab our attention and show us something new.

3. Catch on Quick - We want games that are intuitive, we should be masters of your game’s controls in less than 30 seconds.  We will critique how easy your game is to pick up and play. 

4. Fun - We’re gamers too so for us the most important thing is that the game is fun!

5. Frequency and Quality - Work in progress screenshots and videos will contribute to the finial judging.
