After careful consideration, I'm sorry to say I've decided to disqualify this submission for the following reasons:
1. It does not conform the Game Boy resolution of 160x144
2. You technically have no game submitted seems you removed it and just linked to an alternative page instead. People are unable to rate your game fairly because of this.
It's not a decision I make lightly, and I hope you understand. Thanks.

Hey, I totally understand the moderation. To clarify, the game and every asset was centered at 160x144. Maybe Godot's web export forced a viewport stretch that I couldn't override in time. 

As for the removed file, I was following the advice Polyducks gave on the forums to use a mirror page. As when I submitted the game, I realised that mouse controls couldn't be used, but unfortunately it wouldn't let me resubmit my game file. The version I published on the mirror page uses keyboard controls for A and B, I just forgot to edit the tutorial due to panic. I appreciate you guys taking the time to review it. 

LargePootato and I spent countless hours trying to make our game meet the GBJAM limitations, and us being very new to game development, we encountered issues that could not be resolved perfectly. We appreciate you taking the time to review it despite the upload issue.

Thank you for understanding. I take no pleasure in disqualifying entries where it's clear people invested a lot of effort. I just wanted to take a minute to mention a couple of points you raised:
Trouble with the resolution: There's a godot template you're welcome to use in the resources channel on our discord. If you don't want to use that, the folks on discord and the community board are really helpful. You're never alone if you get stuck.
Removal of original entry: None of the moderators or hosts would tell you to delete the original submission. If someone tells you to do that, it wasn't us. Adding a link to an alternative project is fine, and one we often suggest if there's a game breaking bug, but you should never remove the original file you submitted to the jam.
I hope this clears things up a bit, and we see you again next year. Please don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it, or use the resources we provide on discord.
Cheers!
