I have no idea! We created a new Unity project specifically for this game on the first day of the jam, so it's not like we were even adding assets to an old, blank project.
I don't know what the significance of that date would be, either. Maybe when I last updated my version of Unity?
If you're worried about some cheating or other funny business going on here, I'm planning on making a video documenting the whole process of the game's creation and throwing that up on Youtube, so you'll be able to see everything from the initial idea to prototypes and such being made throughout the week.
We were sure to record footage at the end of each day to track the current state of the game, so it should all be pretty much indisputable.
Thank-you for pointing this out, though! If I had to guess, I'd wager that it's something weird that Unity did, more so than something sinister we did!
Unity only changes some of the files, here is a good thread: https://answers.unity.com/questions/12341/date-of-exe-build-is-not-correct.html
I've also added a screenshot of the top 2 games. (blue: actual date, red: wrong date) The red marked date is presumably the installation date of unity, and all the data of an new project are stored in the data file, so the others won't change.
In this case, its not the fault of the creators, but of unity.

Thank you very much for taking the time to clear that up. That was beyond kind of you.
This is an exceedingly kind review. In addition, while my artist was busy playing literally every game posted in a thread of his, he noticed a comment left by you on a completely different entry suggesting that its creator try our game as well.
So, I don't really know what to say, beyond the obvious, "thank you," and, "glad you enjoyed yourself". We're all flattered. In fact, had you not included some constructive criticism, I might not have survived reading this.
I think the best thing to do is to pay your generosity forward!
I would love it if anyone else happening by this comment would play and rate the two most creative entries that I've personally enjoyed so far:
Late Lies https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/477163
Totally Not a Summoning https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/473901
And of course, if anyone hasn't yet, please try out in Principle Games' Flatout Drillin' https://itch.io/jam/cgj/rate/476942
I'm certainly going to!

We had plans for a "good" ending but didn't have quite enough time to implement and test it properly before the deadline. It's something we're probably going to add after the rating period is over.
That's helpful feedback, thank you! I didn't really know how much leeway to give with the brightness, so I'm glad that you were still able to finish the game.
We actually are recently aware of that goofed tile sprite placement. We were hoping no one else would notice before we could fix it, but there's no getting by you!
