Announcing the Bad Box Art Challenge!

The art on the covers, cartridges, and jewel case inserts of some video games is so bad it's funny. The best (worst?) examples are not only poorly illustrated, but also seem to belong to entirely different games than the ones they supposedly depict.

What if the games in these boxes actually resembled their terrible cover art? Let's find out!

Participants will have 48 hours to make a game based on an art sample from our Gallery of Trash (http://jams.gamejolt.io/badboxart/gallery-of-trash).

Start: Friday, March 25 at Midnight (Pacific)
Deadline: Sunday, March 27 at Midnight (Pacific)

How to participate and more is on the jam homepage (http://jams.gamejolt.io/badboxart).

Be sure to read the official jam rules (http://jams.gamejolt.io/badboxart/rules).

I can't wait to play the games that come out of this! Happy jamming!

Why is Jet Set Willy on that list?
That box art sums up the game pretty well if you ask me. Especially if you actually read the story in the game's manual.
