Due to the nature of game jams, it's difficult to find the time to properly playtest the game, and as such game jam entries are often somewhat buggy. I have identified several bugs in my game and fixed a lot of them, and am now sitting on a hotfix for it.
The reason I haven't immidiately released it is that I'm not sure if updating the game is allowed in this time period. I think it's reasonable to assume that updates that introduce new content or features should be put off until the game jam voting closes so as to not affect the scoring - it would effectively allow people to work for a few extra days before everyone gets around to voting. I also think it's reasonable to allow a hotfix that doesn't introduce anything new to the game, but I figured I'd ask first to ensure that this is in compliance with the game jam rules.
Is it okay to release updates to the game jam entries?
