Hey. I removed 2 games because they looked like they were neither created during the jam nor for the jam.

One was a mobile game which I removed because it had ads. My thought process at that point was: Why would you put ads in a jam game? Thereby the conclusion that it had been created before the jam for a different occasion.

The other one I removed was a 3D game which looked quite a bit too advanced for the time period the jam had been going for at that point. On the screenshots it had multiple creatures, lots of UI elements etc, ... not something you could create in such a short amount of time I assumed. In case I was wrong, please take it as a compliment. Your game literally looked to advanced for the time you had... 

I know the rules say you're allowed to recycle code from previous project but the rules also say the game has to be created during the jam. It's a bit hard to draw the line here but I feel like the line has to be: Was the game created FOR the wowie jam? 

If yes, please accept my sincere apology and make sure to reach out so we can resolve the issue. If no, I want to apologize as well cause it seems like the rules were not quite clear enough on what's allowed. 

In case your game was non of the two I mentioned above, have some patience. It might show up later. Sometimes Itch takes some time to update...  :)
If you have any questions on the matter or if there are any more issues with games being removed, please let me know!

I'm trying my best to treat this as fairly as I possibly can.
