I made White. When the theme "It's Spreading" was announced, I thought of delicious breakfast foods, but swerved to make something about an issue that's important to me. I was clinging to my love for bats and to the words "very limited working copy of your game" to get me through. It's playable, it communicates the theme. That'll do, bats. That'll do. I've got a roadmap for improvements I want to make after the voting ends, and feedback from fellow jammers has been valuable!!

My personal goal outside of learning how to make a game was to make sure I didn't submit it last minute, because I've lived my life like that. We all deserve a life free from that, "oh FISHSTICKS I'm BEHIND!!" cortisol rush. I'll take 14 hours before the deadline! That's great!

I also didn't announce what I was doing until it was done. I really liked the experience of thrusting this thing into the world without warning, and it gave my intrinsic motivation a healthy workout. I wasn't doing it for anyone else (but the bats). I think only my boyfriend knew what I was up to for the majority of the time.

I for one welcome the dance plague.

I love it! My highest combo was 50, though I'm not saxy enough to know what a downbeat is. Could use a visual aide, like how DDR arrows flash to the beat you're stepping to. I played the browser version with a keyboard. I hope you continue it!!! These characters are adorable. I'm rootin' for this rat to be tootin' around my Steam library.

The puppets spark joy!! I love it.

GameMaker is fun, I CAN make games, not everyone knows what I knows about bats, and the affect of eating a lot of little ultra-processed treats and monster energy drinks is felt immediately. I'm going to a sportsball party this weekend and I WILL bring salad and I WILL eat the entire thing. I crave leaves.

The games do show how long ago they were uploaded, so as long as there's proof you intended to submit on time I hope something can be done for you! I struggled with the submission process yesterday.  Are you in the Pirate Software discord?

Seems like uploading the game and submitting the game to the jam may be totally separate processes, even if you're uploading from the jam page. The first time I tried to submit from the jam page, itch.io just had me upload my game. I went back to the jam page and hit submit again, then I got the form that allowed me to submit my game to the jam for real. Funky!!!

Me too! I got a little scared when I saw there were a bunch of cool people set to judge us, but then I used it as motivation to get my game done. For the bats!!!

Quitter's Day was on January 12th, so I've already procrastinated too long to give up.
