Didn't really want to spread any more negativity on my way out, but guess I'll elaborate. The lack of rules and clarity has really highlighted to me how much people will try to take every advantage they can, be it by exploiting gaps in the wording of rules or attempting to game the voting process. "white developer" has particularly embodied this attitude, as I'm sure everyone has noticed.
It seems that trusting people to follow the "spririt of the game jam" is not enough. I find myself wishing there wasn't prize money involved, as it has truly brought out the worst in people.

I have withdrawn my submission, the constantly moving goalpoasts and toxic attitudes of some involved has me at my wits end and I just want rid of the whole thing. Wishing the best of luck to everyone who entered and congratulations for all you achieved, thank you for all the lovely feedback on my game, and big props to mousey and the mods for taking the time to run this event! Hopefully this will all be a learning experience and things can go more smoothly in future.
