I went for the “Extra” 3-week Jam this time, creating the game AstroHaul: You're flying around in space looking for resources to upgrade your ship, while defeating enemy fighters.

Having 3 weeks means you can do some playtesting and tweaks. I can highly recommend this format, especially if you are limited on time.
