I think if you host a jam you can set it up so it wouldn't show how many entries already got submitted?

I had a lot of delays as well and I am disappointed in it looking like a rough prototype, but I'll submit it as is

I'm sorry you have had health issues and it's because life often gets in the way that we set a period longer than most jams at 14 days. There are entries submitted already (which I don't think entrants can see) but to extend it beyond the current deadline would be unfair to those that have spent time getting everything ready for today. I will be submitting my entry today and I assume others might wait until the last few hours to ensure they have tested as much as possible. Remember, it only has to be a playable game and meet the jam criteria to get the free course. Good luck.
