Game Jam submision files are gone

I uploaded my files before the end of the jam but for some reason if I check right now the files that I uploaded are gone. This means that my game can't be downloaded anymore.  Does anyone know a way to get the files up again because the game jam obiously doesn't allow you to upload files?

It also doesn't make sense because the upload file shouldn't have been able to be modified or removed because of the Game Jam.

Can someone help me?

1. Are you trying to share webGL game playable in a web browser or a downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux?

2. Which engine did you make the game with? (Unity, GameSalad, etc.)

3. Did you just upload your project folder or did you build your app version, compress it, and upload that compressed file?

I uploaded a build off my unity project for window

Are you able to see it in your dashboard? You may have just hidden the files.

I was able to see that the files were uploaded but now I don't see the uploaded files anymore

Make sure you’ve chosen the correct game type / page type for your game. Since you’ve got a downloadable Windows game, the drop down menu should be on executable and not the Unity game web game preset. If you choose the default first choice (Playable Unity browser game) but upload an executable file (downloadable game) your game page won’t display correctly.

But that isn't the problem I know it worked before and the settings are correct because I've watched people download it.

Hmm. Try opening your itch dashboard and double checking the settings  It sounds like a page setting is incorrect. 

You can always just upload to another site (google drive, media fire, etc.) and share a link to it on your game page or on your jam page. That way at least people can play and rate it during the rating period.

I already did the last thing but I will check the settings
