NEON COMMAND — "The city still answers to the grid."

Build a short game set in a neon, neo-military, or retro-electric future. Teslapunk, chrome command HUDs, gold-and-iron streets, broadcast towers, and outlaw grids all count.

72 hours. A chrome city. A command you can't refuse. A cyberpunk and neo-military game jam with a free official pixel kit.

Schedule — Europe/Kiev (UTC+2)

Start: Saturday 14 Nov 2026 18:00

Submission deadline: Tuesday 17 Nov 2026 18:00

Voting end: Thursday 19 Nov 2026 18:00

Rules

72 hours, starting Saturday 14 Nov 18:00 and ending Tuesday 17 Nov 18:00, Europe/Kiev (UTC+2).

You may work solo or in a team. You may submit one game, or more than one. The work you submit must be made during the jam. Engines, code templates, and existing libraries are allowed. Browser / HTML5 builds are encouraged so other jammers can vote; desktop builds are accepted.

Art and audio: you may use your own work, licensed work, or the official starter kit. Credit third-party assets on your itch page.

Official starter kit (free, commercial licence, recommended, not required):

https://siriusforge.itch.io/neon-sovereign-free-sidescroller-shooter-kit-16x16

Neon Sovereign is a 16×16 cyberpunk sidescroller kit (tiles, hero, enemies, FX). You can build something else entirely.

AI-assisted art or code is allowed if you disclose it on your itch page (a one-line "AI-assisted: yes, tools: …" field is enough). Do not describe work as hand-painted or hand-drawn if it is not. Using the official kit is fine; that pack already carries an honest disclosure on its itch page.

No NSFW. No hate content. No purchase is required to enter or to use the official kit.

Voting is for submitters only and uses itch's rating queue. Criteria: Theme, Visuals, Audio, Gameplay, Mood.

Prizes (licence keys only, no cash)

1st: commercial keys for Neon Sovereign HUD + Crime City HUD + CYBER-IMPERIAL city kit, and the $29 shop bundle

2nd and 3rd: commercial keys for Neon Sovereign HUD and CYBER-IMPERIAL

Every joiner: the free official kit, already public

Submission requirements: a public itch page, a downloadable or playable build, jam start ≤ upload time. Allow late submissions only if a host exception is granted.
