Advice for getting the most out of a game jam on Itch.io
- People want to try and play your game, but if it is not obvious visually, please always add basic instructions to the game page.
- Always add an image, even if it is a screenshot, because when presented with a submission that has "no image" (thumbnail), what does it say about the person's effort?
- Jams are a great way to learn and get feedback but do attempt to stick to jams' rules and theme. Most jams are pretty liberal in interpretation.
- There is nothing wrong in posting two submissions to a jam (if rules allow), but posting almost identical games is not.
I assume you are new and possibly relatively young, so give this advice not to be mean but for you to improve in future jams. Making mistakes is how we learn.
