Hey there. Thanks for reaching out.
We've had to reach out to itch.io to figure out what happened, as it wasn't anything that we administrators did (we don't even have an option like that). We're as confounded as you are.
Unfortunately, until we hear back, we cannot reinstate your game. It's not that we don't want to, either. I don't even see an option to restore the game, and I'm an admin.
We are truly sorry that this happened, but until we know what happened, why it happened, and how to fix it, all we can do is try to get some answers.
Thanks for reaching out. As soon as we hear something, we'll let you know.
Hello. I heard back from Nick. Unfortunately, neither of us have the ability to reinstate your game for voting in this contest. That means that your game is no longer eligible to win the "Fan Favorite" award. However, your game can place in the overall contest (1st, 2nd, or 3rd) if the judges rank it so.
I am very sorry about this, but that is the final decision. If itch.io restores your game for voting, we'll let you know as soon as we can.
