Why 900px?

Where came this constrain for the jam? I’m a bit picky about dealing with the resolution especially when dealing with pixel art. Is it intended for certain hardware?

900px is the maximum allowed size to better fit on the itch.io webpage when published.

This game is 1280x720 on the page and fits perfectly. https://nezvers.itch.io/bombario

Itch allows to manually set the size for the embedded page and allows to go fullscreen. That’s why I’m curious where the limitation came from.

Is it to be safe for some weird user display to still be able to show it in embedded form?

I preferred to keep a safe-zone just in case so I decided to limit it to 900px.

Ok, that makes sense.
