Hey mate, in case you didnt know...

In order to enter a game made with scratch online, follow these instructions after you have set up a game page on itch:-

1. Set 'Kind of Project' to Downloadable

2. Select 'Add External File' (it's to the right of the 'Upload File' and 'Choose From Dropbox' buttons)

3. Change type from Executable to Source Code.

4. Copy and paste the Scratch URL for the game into the 'http://' section.

The 'Download' button on your new itch page will now take players directly to your browser playable Scratch game!

You can now enter your game into any game jam!

Ok, I was planning to do the game offline, as there's a downloadable engine for Scratch, and releasing the project file and linking the engine. Scratch with too big of a game can get pretty laggy online, and eventually it'll just refuse to save. Would that be alright?

It's not against the rules. The only concern is that folks may have to install scratch but If it's a standalone exe then there is no hassle for anyone who wants to download and play. Should be good matey!

Unfortunately they would have to install scratch to play the game, but the engine itself is around a hundred megs, so not very big at all.
