Rules

• One game per person. Until the deadline, you can switch your entry to a different game
• Any theme (any game that can be played on PUNIPO)
• Games made with AI are OK too
• Open to people living in any country or region. Prizes are Amazon.co.jp gift cards (they may not be usable on Amazon sites in other countries)
• You can't enter if the laws of the country or region where you live don't allow it
• Only games that follow PUNIPO's submission guidelines (games that use other people's work, characters, music and so on can't be entered)
• Please keep your game public until the results are announced
• A game posted with "Enter the award" turned on before the deadline still counts as an entry, even if it goes live after the deadline
• You can still update your game after the deadline, for example to fix bugs

Judging

The judges (bearfaust, Deputy Representative of blankcanvas, and the PUNIPO team) will play every entry and make an overall decision based on these four points.

• Fun: is it enjoyable to play?
• Idea: does it have gameplay or touches you haven't seen elsewhere?
• Polish: how easy it is to control, and the care put into its look and sound
• Easy to pick up: can you start playing right away and enjoy it even in a short time?

Personal information

• When you confirm your membership, we check and store your Discord account ID and name, and whether you are in the Game Club server
• If you win, your Discord name is shared with the blankcanvas Game Club so the prize can reach you
