The folks behind the biggest game jam series in the world have announced that the 46th mini Ludum Dare is entitled “SharkJam”. The jam will take place this coming weekend (Nov. 2nd/3rd), and all games made for the jam must be about sharks. Yep, sharks.

The rules are very similar to the other Ludum Dare competitions: You are allowed 48 hours to submit a complete game, you can work alone or in a team, and external assets are allowed. They also allow all genres, so those of you who are fans of the rhythm genre, get to work on Shark Shark Revolution .

For those of you who are new to Ludum Dare (or just game jams in general), check out their Rules and Guide, it’s a great outline for what is allowed and what constraints you have during a jam. Since this is a mini Ludum Dare, the rules are less restrictive, giving you a little bit of leeway on what you’re allowed to use.

You can find some more info about the jam here. There’s a few hilarious ideas for you to get your creatives juices flowing. The next jam in the main Ludum Dare series, Ludum Dare 28, is coming in December. Keep an eye on their websitefor more updates on that, and good luck if you’re jamming this weekend!
