Oh, thank you very much for your kind words! I really hope you enjoy the experience! Don'be shy and explore all the topics you want while you play :)
On the other hand, I have already downloaded your game and I will play it too very soon. I'm gonna let you a comment in your game profile with my feed back, of course. It looks pretty awesome! Congrats!
It only says "submissions" should be made during the jam. That only means you can submit the game during the jam, but not that you have to spend time during the jam to develop the game. There is no indication in the language that the game itself must be made during the jam, except that it can't be an "old" game, or a submission to a previous one-page jam.
If it was against the rules to work on the game in advance, the rules would unambiguously say so.
In any case, I don't think a game made a week ago is against the spirit of the jam. I certainly wouldn't consider that an 'old' game. It looks cool anyway. Good job on the art!
That's a bonkers interpretation. Of course you can only "submit during the jam", that's how the website works. I won't push any further since this is a prize-less jam, but the language is clear enough. What usually happens is the opposite: Jams that allow for projects started prior to the jam will go out of their way to make that clear in the rules.
Jams are not just about doing the game in the allotted time, but also about doing them "together". That's the spirit of any jam. If the author was truly misinformed about this, then pretending it's ok will just lead to a possible worse situation if he ever joins a jam with a prize.
(EDIT: It did not escape me that you were the only other person to submit right at the start as well. At least yours does look like it could be conceivably done in 5 minutes if you already had the text in mind)

The game looks beautiful -- the layout and use of colors is fantastic. It's also a sweet idea for a game. Congratulations!
Thanks a lot! :) very kind of you!
I like the layout, its really good. But I think that there is no second page in the English version (and I can see it in the screenshots)
Oh! it's true! And thank you very much for notice me! I appreciate it a lot :) Now everybody can download the English version without problems.
Love the design and layout!
The game sounds really compelling so I'm sure I'll give it a try during the weekend. I'm starting to feel relaxed and laid back just by reading it.

"Submissions must be made during the jam period specifically for the jam".
I find it hard to believe this was done in 10 seconds
I was designing this one-page solo ttrpg last week always with the Jam in mind. I don't know where is the problem.
They just said the problem with it. You technically broke the rules. It's against the spirit of the jam to start early.

Thank you very much for your words and support. I think so, anyway, I'll be more careful in the future.
