• Free access to a bundle of +1800 USD worth of online courses containing the following titles:

• The game must be developed using the Phaser HTML5 game development framework (see Phaser.io to download and install it)
• No other external libraries can be included
• The game must be designed for a 640×360 screen resolution and scaled using the SHOW_ALL option, such that it is easily playable on both a mobile device screen and typical desktop resolutions
• The maximum size of the completed game should be no more than 500 KB, this includes all the code except for the Phaser library, all the assets (images, sound, json files, tmx files, etc), UNZIPPED. Also the game won’t be zipped, so the 500 KB is for the game project unzipped, excluding ONLY the Phaser library.
• Minification of assets is allowed
• For the submitted entry, we need to be able to run index.html on a local web server. We won’t be executing commands like npm install, grunt, webpack, etc. You can use those tools in your personal workflow but for the submission we’ll only open index.html
• The game can’t load assets hosted elsewhere. All the assets need to be run locally.
• This is a client-side only game, to be played in the browser (this is NOT a Cordova game or a game made into an executable file).
• The game must be made available in a public Github repository and it must be open source by including a file named “License.txt” with the content of the MIT License.
• The game must work both on desktop computer and mobile phones with a touch screen.
• Only one game submission per person.

• Acceptable assets that can be used for graphics and visuals animations are those used in the course The Complete Mobile Game Development Course – Platinum Edition, those available on the Kenney Assets Website, or artwork available on the Open Game Art Website (those listed with a CC or Public Domain License only)
• Sounds and audio files that may be used in the submitted game are those available on the Free Sound Website (those listed with a CC0 or Public Domain License only). Audio files from other sources will not be accepted
• Please make a note of where you are utilizing assets from, as you will have to include links to the assets used in the game upon submission
• You can make minor modifications to the assets described above. For instance, you can cut, filter or downsize a segment of a sound file. You can divide a spritesheet into smaller images, scale images, make minor modifications. The spirit here is to build a game with existing assets, as this is not a game artwork competition.

ZENVA staff will review all the submissions and determine the winners based on:

• Fun playing experience – is it fun and engaging?
• Polish – does it look good? attention to detail?
• Absence of bugs – does it crash?
• Cross-platform – does it play well both on desktop and mobile?
