Hello. I am wondering how long people usually play jam games for because I do not want my game to be annoying for players. Any answers would be appreciated

Don't stress about it, people will appreciate the effort you put into your game regardless if its 1 min playtime or 1 hour. Just have fun doing it and try to make playing your game as much fun as possible. It's not a AAA showcase, so people shouldn't be annoyed by stuff like that.

Good luck!

PS: Our game will have around 5 minutes playtime. And thats okay for us. :)

Absolutely same thing, I would even say,  better something interesting and short than long and boring. But whatever it is, it is good, it's a game jam ;)
