Can we update an already published game?

Hi. I published a very short platformer about a chicken for Ludum Dare and have been debating making a better version with some thoughts and observations from the chicken. Are we allowed to submit an updated version of a game that has already been published?

Hmm... Since starting earlier is allowed, updating an older project should be fine as long as it's a major update and not just, say, bug fixes. So if your chicken thinks a lot and the pre update version is clearly different from the post update one, it's fine. 

It definitely would be a big update since the original game was 30 seconds long and more of a joke than an actual game. I also plan on uploading it as a completely separate game.

Update. I decided to scrap the chicken platformer story for now and instead create a sequel for my story rich RPG I was Cursed to Be a Slime! in which the protagonists help out a new character cursed to be a bird. My plan is that it will be a bit longer and have more lore and characters than the first game.
