Is it worth submitting unfinished games?

This is my first Jam, so I wasn't sure what to expect, and as it's also my first attempt at making a game, I clearly underestimated the learning curve and got a bit over-ambitious with the game design.  I would guess that my game is about 80% feature complete, but still lacks a few vital components.  Enemies don't fight back.  Animations don't update properly.  I haven't added the cinematics that show how the game ends.  I haven't even tried to add in sounds or music...

Is it worth submitting what I have, just to give people a laugh?  Will people look at an unfinished game and give feedback and suggestions?  Or should I avoid potentially wasting people's time, and wait for another Jam and hope I get further?

Thanks and "Congrats!" to everyone who finished their games!  (and to those of us who didn't)

I also have an unfinished game, I am uploading it, but make sure to put in at least the description (I also put it in the title) that it is unfinished

I also had to submit my not quite finished game (I still have 2 bugs that the end and death screen do not really work (buttons), because I don't have much time tomorrow due to work. But if its playable it should be fine.

I've just submitted. Not quite finished but its playable. I will be trying to iron out a few bugs in the next 2 hours and re-upload

Go for it! You'd at least get the free course
