The Nokia 3310 jam is a short jam dedicated to making games that could have been played on the original Nokia 3310 cell phone! 

 

Palette 

Games can only use these two colors: 

#c7f0d8 #c7f0d8                  #43523d   #43523d

Resolution 

Games must use the resolution of the Nokia 3310 ( 84 x 48 ). Your game can be landscape or portrait.

Game Engine 

Any game engine is allowed as long as you can set your games resolution to 84 x 48 or limit the number of pixels the player sees to 84 x 48 and use the provided palette.

Sound 

Sound should be monophonic, meaning one channel and one sound played at a time. Here is a link to a compilation of the original 3310 ringtones for an idea of what it should sound like!

Controls

Games can have a maximum of 12 controls (the Nokia's keypad). 

Theme

With the value of the prize pool going up considerably there is a new criteria under "Ranking" titled "Use of Theme". The theme will still be optional but for the best chance at placing it would be best to utilize the theme.

Theme: Death is Good


Submissions will be ranked by participants based on these criteria:

Adherence to Restrictions

How well does the game follow the restrictions?

Design

How well does the game work creatively within the restrictions?

Use of Theme

How well does the game utilize the theme?

Enjoyment

How would you rate your overall enjoyment of the game?
