About

Game devs!

More than seven years ago, I started hosting the Metroidvania Month Jam series. Many games have been developed since, but game ideas don't always work out. This jam is the occasion to work on your metroidvania idea!

SMVM is the sister jam of Metroidvania Month, running at the same time. SMVM runs for 3 months, which means there is always an active SMVM. The goal is to develop a metroidvania idea further, without all the rules and competitive aspect of the regular jam.

Rules

1. Any metroidvania at any point in the development is eligible.

2. Teaming is accepted and even encouraged.

3. Games should have a Teen (https://www.esrb.org/ratings-guide/) rating or below.

4. Any engine and tools are allowed.

5. Late entries are not accepted.

Rating & Criterias

Every submitter and contributor can rate.

Enjoyment

Was the game fun? Would you keep playing it? This criteria is highly subjective and mostly based on the feels you got.

Execution

Refers to how the game's concepts were put together. Did it have any bugs? Was the idea original and creative? If there was worldbuilding and narrative, how well was it implemented? Was the map and level design remarkable?

Visuals

Did you like how the game looked? Were the visuals consistent?

Audio

Did you like how the game sounded? Was the audio consistent?

Metroidvania

Does this game belong in this jam? How creative was the implementation of the metroidvania genre?
