Submitting Your Entry
We will be using the Game Maker “Gallery” feature as a form for submissions. You MUST upload your game to the gallery following the GIF tutorial below and using the title: “PORORO GAME JAM — Game Title”
You MUST also submit your game to the following form link: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCNupT-_nNiyacIqhSq8SpSDfP3JkQDQHS_wQSNxbzTd3sQQ/viewform
WARNING! If you submit your entry to the Game Jam gallery but do not submit it to the form linked above (or vice versa), your entry will not be eligible!
Slow down — check everything! Take the time to submit a qualitative experience, rather than rushing and submitting a half-finished experience.
