Hey, I think there's been a misunderstanding.

You seem to believe that my game was made for Brackeys Jam instead of this one, but that’s not the case. I did join Brackeys Jam, but due to time constraints, I couldn't even started my game and ended up leaving that jam.

This game was developed entirely within a week for this jam. While I used pre-made assets for 2D/3D art (since I’m not an artist), all of the code was written by me from scratch. I even explained this in the game’s description.

If you have any questions, I’m more than happy to answer them. It also sounds like you may have already reported my game, which worries me, so please let me know if there’s anything I can clarify.

I haven't reported it, others have tho.
The name of the executable file is "Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1.exe", which has probably been the main red flag for a lot of people.

You also included the debug files and some additional dlls that aren't usually included in released, which is also a reason people flagged this game as suspicious. People don't like downloading games from itch so when they see files that aren't usually there it makes them very nervous.

If you want to be totally transparent it wouldn't hurt to show a screenshot of the file creation dates and the project start time in the Unity Hub.

I honestly had no idea that the executable was named after Brackeys Jam. That wasn’t intentional. I think it might have happened because I use a project template in Unity Hub to avoid setting everything up from scratch each time. But just to clarify there’s nothing from Brackeys Jam in this project.

I took a screenshot to show that I haven’t even opened my Brackeys project in 10 days, and you can see I Opened B3agz project 3 days ago.

I’m really nervous that people reported my game because of this. 😟 I worked super hard on it, and I just wanted to make something fun. Hope this clears things up!

Oh! I found out why the file names are like that! It’s because of this so, I never really set a product name since it doesn’t matter to me right now. I think Unity automatically used the project name instead. And the project name was "Brackeys Game Jam 2025.1" because back when I first made that project, I set it up and then decided to turn it into a project template. That’s why the product name never got cleared.

Hope that makes sense! 😅

Oh, and yeah! Here are the project creation dates for both. You asked me to show them from Unity Hub, but Unity doesn’t actually show the project creation date. 😅 So, I took a screenshot from File Explorer instead. Hope this helps!
