Thank you so much for the update, and I apologize for the lack of clear guidelines regarding updates during the evaluation period!
Since I didn't explicitly state the update rules in the guidelines this time, please don't worry about it at all for this jam! However, as a heads-up for future jams (here and elsewhere), it's generally best to hold off on adding new content during evaluation to keep things fair for everyone. I'll make sure to clearly outline this in the official rules for the next event!
As for downloadable versions—I personally LOVE having a downloadable offline build! 🎮✨
While HTML5 web versions are amazingly convenient for quick plays, I’m the type of gamer who loves to keep and treasure the games I adore on my own hard drive so I can play them years down the road. So if you ever release a downloadable desktop version alongside the web build, fans like me would be absolutely thrilled!
Most importantly... thanks to your quick bug fix, I was finally able to swim with my dream OCTOPUS BUDDY! 🐙🌊 It made me so happy. Thank you for creating such an inspiring and fun game! 🙂
