Submission Rules
- Your entry must demonstrate genuine creativity or innovation. Reused, unmodified, or previously published projects will not be accepted.
- The submission must clearly relate to the announced theme.
- You may enter solo or as a team of up to 3 members.
- If your project uses third-party assets (art, audio, code, or otherwise), you must credit the original creator.
- Complete the submission form accurately. The details you provide are used to generate your certificate. Any attempt to abuse the system, submit prior work as new, or include offensive or NSFW content will result in disqualification and may lead to removal from the community.
- Submissions lock automatically at the deadline, and entries can no longer be edited or withdrawn once submissions close.
Voting & Winner Selection
Once submissions close, community members review and score each entry against the criteria below on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the highest. Final rankings use an adjusted average that accounts for differences in how many votes each entry receives, so no project is penalized or favored simply for attracting fewer or more voters. Scores and rankings are revealed once voting closes, and the top 3 highest-scoring entries are recognized as the jam's winners.
Rewards
For accepted submissions only
Every member of an accepted team is awarded a participation badge on their Levelstair profile, applied equally across the whole team.
The top 3 highest-ranked projects will be featured on the EXE by Levelstair YouTube channel.

Broken Heart
by NovaFlakes
Movement - WASD Throw eggs/tomatoes - Arrow keys (aim 4 ways) Switch ammo - Space / Tab Pause - Esc Splatter oblivious couples to fill your Rage Meter. The fuller it gets, the bigger the chaos RAGE MODE doubles your fire rate and triples splatter size. DODGE the cops and the boyfriend brigade. Every couple you break puts another man on your tail. Score combos fast before they catch you. Beat all 3 park levels to reach the final showdown redecorate the ex's entire house in tomato before the clock runs out.

Prism Rage
by LakiGD
HOW TO PLAY 1. Download PrismRage-Windows.zip 2. Extract the whole zip — keep the .exe and the data folder together 3. Run PrismRage.exe 4. Press SPACE to start Windows only. If SmartScreen warns you, click "More info" then "Run anyway" — it's an unsigned indie build. CONTROLS A / D — change lane ← → — flip the prism to another face W — fire bazooka (when armed) S — slam, clears nearby obstacles (costs 25% rage) ↑ — horn (does nothing, purely cathartic) ↓ — bounce (also does nothing but funny) R — restart Fill the rage bar to go BERSERK and smash through traffic. Red reinforced walls resist rage — you need the bazooka, or you flip.
