Recommended platform?

Hello everyone!

This is my first game jam ever so sorry if this is a stupid question but what's the ideal platform for this? I plan to do a very simple game (obviously!) so webGL should perform good enough... should I also upload an executable build or is it a waste of time?

And is it safe to assume that most people will play on desktop or do I need mobile support as well? Will I have lower chances of winning if I disregard mobile?

Thank you for reading and good luck to everyone! This will be fun, yay

Well funny thing is that l'm in the same boat as you馃槀

Your questions are definitely valid, but i personally think the ideal platform would be windows, but there is some platforms itch io supports, it would be a great idea if you can make your game playable on many platforms just incase

also you don't HAVE TO upload a build, i think webGL should be good enough for a simple game

also it mite decrease your chances of wining a little bit if your game only supports windows, but you should focus on making the game fun & creative with Awesome Gameplay, Design, and music that with the theme and the "Geometricness" of the jam that fits your scope.
