So I'm confused, if I (not saying it is 100% possible) worked everyday on my submission, would it be valid?
Absolutely!
So, the challenge is to make something small and/or something in a small time frame. So you can make a game in a day or a weekend or a week (a week is still SUPER fast!), or you can make something small like a one-page TTRPG, a game on a business card, or a video game that's only 100 lines of code, etc.
Any interpretation of "small" is valid, and that includes "small" to you. If you normally spend 2 years on a game, then spending one month on a game is relatively small. Or if you normally make TTRPGs that are 50 pages long and make one that's 10 pages, that's relatively small too! 🥳
