    • Controls
  • Trailer (~1 minute)

Distribution

We recommend everyone to distribute all dependencies with your game. The day before the jury weekend, we will try all games and see if they run on each platform. If we have trouble running your game, we will contact you to resolve any problems.

PC/Mac

Either distribute the game as a zip file or an installer. (Include dependencies!)

Xbox 360

We assume that you’re using XNA.

Read the description on how you can distribute the game to us: MSDN: Sharing your game package

Mobile Games

Iphone / Ipad

Send a text file describing how we can download your game from App Store.

If you don’t distribute via the App Store, we accept games using the Ad Hoc distribution method. This means that you’ll get our device ID and generate an app file which can be sent to us. If you choose this method, we need to know this as soon as possible. Contact us to receive instructions.

Android

Send us the apk file and any content that might be used by the game.

Windows Phone 7

Contact us.

None of the above

If you’re using something else that does not fit any of the distribution methods above, please contact us to give us more information on your entry.

Good luck!
