Could I add clicking to the credits section of the game?

Hi, I’m making a game without clicking (as the jam says), but I want parts of my credits page to have clickable links (e.g. to my homepage, possible public domain sources I’ll use) and I don’t want players to accidentally mouse over something and open up a new tab in their browser without request. Can I do this? THIS WILL BE THE ONLY PLACE IN MY GAME WHERE PLAYERS HAVE TO CLICK.

Hi! That sounds completely fine. Clicking isn’t totally banned in the jam; the goal is just to minimize the use. If you wanted you can submit a pinball game, it just might not get the best accessible score. 

Clicking to start the game, refresh the screen, or open a few links (like credits or sources) are totally reasonable and wouldn't decrease your score at all for accessibility. 

I think you’ve got the right idea. Just keep the "hands-off" spirit in mind and you’re good to go! 

same as i thought of initial click (cause of pointerlock feature) and then to not click anymore…
