Are we allowed to fix bugs during rating?

My game has a little bug that I found. Basically has to do with the save system not working; the easy fix for now is to just take the save system out (it's just a few lines and has very little effect since I imagine most people aren't playing the game a bunch of times). It's nothing game-breaking, but does make everything in the game very dark for some reason.

Anyway, I was wondering if I'm allowed to upload the new files as a little patch while the jam is still going on (so folks who want to play won't run into this bug), or if it would be better to wait until the rating is finished. I've been in jams where they let you do this, and some where they don't, so wanted to check in instead of doing something stupid and getting disqualified, haha.

You're not allowed to make any changes to your game during the rating period. 

Doing so will result in your game getting disqualified. 

I'm aware there are jams out there that allow this. But, for us, everything has to be done within the 5 days allotted. 

Hope this helps!

Makes sense! Glad I checked in.
