Scope for "Fixes and Stuff"?

Heyo team,

It seems one of my riddles is a bit more confusing then i intended.
Is adding a little hint-giving sticky note fine, for rule 12? Or is that too much for what technicaly not a bug?
>12 - Don't add tons of new stuff to your game during the voting period. Just do little bug-fixes and stuff.

Thank you :)

You can add any post-jam changes as a seperate download (make sure to mark it as a 'post-jam' version).

Only critical bugfixes (bugs which prevent the game from running at all) are fine with the main version.

What should we do for web builds? Should these be the original submissions, or can they have (non-critical bugfixes and/or content) updates? I ask, because I imagine if there's a browser version available, that's the version people will play and rate, and you can't see the build version in the file name like you would on a file download.

Web build should be the og submission, but small bugfixes or fixing experience-breaking glitches should be fine - Joel will be playing through windows builds.

I have a new build for Thumbarrage (not uploaded yet) with some difficulty/experience adjustments, such as:

  • There was a bug on the HTML5 where players could select "Continue" skipping the intro
  • Changed gravity for better air control
  • Repositioned some enemies a bit for hopefully better level design
  • Changed the final boss vulnerable sprite for better indication
  • Added the option to hold the button to polish the head instead of having to constantly spam it
  • Extended some of the platforms to make certain sections less frustrating

I want to make these changes for both the HTML5 and Windows builds, should I make these on a post-jam build or would these be fine to replace the current builds?

Just to be safe - Upload the new build as a seperate post-jam zip. Web build can be updated with the specified changes till tomorrow.

Thank you! I have only updated the windows build as a separate post-jam download, will update the HMTL5 after the voting period ends

I feel very dumb for asking, but when we uploaded the game very last minute we didn't have the time to check it due to personal physical and mental health matters happening irl with us over the last week.
Turned out there was a big gamebreaking bug that prevented the game to be progressed and also a lot of stuff not showing up. I have fixed the bugs today and didn't add or changed anything to the game since everything was already there. But i realize this might be an issue? I still have the original broken file for the jam uploaded but hidden so i can always unhide it, it's just a big mess. Anyways, thank you in advance!

You can go ahead and update the main build.
