I see that 23 of you have already submitted your game.  There is still 4 days left so why did you not use all the time to make your game the best game possible?  That's why you were given 7 days.  I would rather play a game that was done in 7 days than one that was done in 3 days.

Uploading early and updating the game just before the jam ends is also a strat that a lot of people do, not all of these submitted games are complete

Personally I like getting a build up early then continue to work on it until the deadline. That way if I have a build failure on the last day and can't submit the latest build, at least something is submitted. Plus, it's easier to have people play test a build this way. Also, I wasn't sure how much time I'd have the rest of the week, so I got the core gameplay loop and levels in. After that I have just been making small changes since then

I have done this before too, sometimes you don’t have time later in the week to work on it, so it is better to wrap it up nice and tidy 😊 if I look at the time I spend on this jam, it will also just be about 2 days of work spread over a week or so.

Also, I have seen 2 day games that are way better than 7 day games. Time does not equal how good a game is. It all comes down to design cohesion and execution.
