Welcome to No Video Jam 2, an audio game slow jam where graphics aren't the focus!

Rules

  • Anyone can participate, whether you're solo or in a team.
  • No video is a challenge. Graphics are allowed as long as they're not necessary to play.
  • Submissions must be blind-friendly. Turn off your display to test. Need a screen reader? Try NVDA or Orca.
  • Please only use assets that you are legally permitted to use, with proper attribution.
  • Submissions must not contain discriminatory or hateful content.
  • Submissions should be mostly made during the jam period. You can start planning now. You can use existing code and assets. You can fix bugs after the jam ends. We ask that you please be good and respect folks who created everything during the jam.

Themes

We've selected some optional themes to inspire you! Choose one, many, or none at all:

  • Augmented
  • Data visualization
  • Failure is progress
  • Logical fallacy
  • No end in sight
  • Recursion
  • Temporary disability
  • The jab
  • Unconventional controls
  • You are the dungeon

Judging

Submissions will be judged by the public based on the following criteria: 

  • Accessibility. Is it easy to operate and perceive?
  • Fun. Is it enjoyable?
  • Originality. Has it been done before?
  • Sound. Is the sound design well executed?

Voting lasts for one week after submissions close. Winners will enjoy bragging rights and good karma.
