My advice to you is that you don't join jams that have rules if you don't plan on following them or don't understand the importance of rules in a ranked competition with prizes.
I could have disqualified your entry even before rating started. Would you have prefered that? I thought that allowing you to get some valuable feedback first was a rather nice gesture...
In addition to the elaborate list of very specific rules found on the jam page all participants were reminded of the rules in several ways.
From the jam page: "Be sure to read the rules carefully before you start outlining your game idea."
From the submit game window: "Please make sure that the game you are about to submit follow the rules for this jam."
From the email that went out before the jam started: "You also need to make sure that all the rules and requirements are met."
Additionally we have a Discord server and a forum where you could've asked questions if you were unsure about any of the rules. Don't put this on me. The rules were clear but you chose to ignore them.
