yeah, I find it weird that the rules/community seem so strict on enforcing these small details which really takes the fun out of jamming. We accidentally packaged our game missing 1 .js file and once the clock struck it was game over, so we're unable to join the game list.
Viewing post in I screwed up on the assets front… feel free to disqualify me.
@mlinsenbard That's unfortunate! Participants were encouraged to upload their game in whatever state it's in throughout the jam period - you can always include devlogs or comments in the description pointing to fixed versions of the file. We just don't allow changes to the main files once the jam has started to prevent people continuing work after the jam period.
The strictness is new for this year since introducing prizes.
