- You should make the game free (or let the person pick “any amount”), and you must set the game as "released", not "draft"

- If you're submitting a Unity game and want to provide a version that works in browsers, you should set compression type to Gzip from Unity's WebGL Player Settings

Step 2:

Then, you should come back to this page on itch.io, click submit game, and choose your game from the dropdown box. Answer the required questions to complete the submission

To ensure that your game is in the jam, please go to your game's itch.io page and look for the badge that says "Submission to the SweaterJam March 2023" in the top right
