This event/competition/challenge is started by me (@MarkerGames) and all the currencies, rewards, and prizes are handled by me, not Hopscotch.

Welcome to the Second Oficial Marker Jam!!!
Yes, I know what you’re thinking. “@MarkerGames! You can’t do that! It’s only been half a month since the first jam!”
Well, it’s my game jam, and I make the rules.
But just for you guys, I’m organizing the instructions into dividers.
And please don’t procrastinate, the first one only had one submission.
Deadlines and Themes
The competition will begin on 2023-02-25T16:30:00Z, when the theme will be announced. The competition will last a week this time, lasting up until 2023-03-04T18:30:00Z, where all submissions must be published and linked to this topic before 2023-03-05T16:15:00Z, meaning that you’ll have to be very active in order to get a chance at the podium. A bonus theme will be announced on 2023-03-01T16:30:00Z, which you can include in your game for extra points. Results will be announced on 2023-03-07T18:30:00Z.

This time, scores can go up to 150 points. These are the different ways you can earn points to improve your score.

Judging
I will be judging all submissions by myself, and I will do my best to judge projects with the least amount of bias possible, which I will do well in, since I have little bias overall, and would be a terrible debater and see much sense on the opposite team’s words.
