I'm not entirely certain what you mean in the rules when you say "Anything as long as it can run on Windows, Browsers and does not require additional software or hardware". Does that mean both or either? I've never gotten a game to run on browser before, so I hope a downloadable game is alright. T-T

I can run in window or browser or both but make the game run without other extra software ex your game need to be playable if you open the zip file and extract it and the player don’t have to down load visual code software something like that

The judge said it’s okay to make it downloadable but if it in browser more player could access your game more and get more popular

It should be easy to make it web playable just give us quesitons if you cant and someone can help you out!

But yes it is preffered to have a web playable game on itch.io as it makes it easier to judge, as downloading takes a while and we will have to check for virsuses etc
