Checked this out in a game feedback stream! https://youtube.com/live/I116iA0O5Ds

Did this ever have a web version?? I have to disqualify it if it doesnt...

No problem! Head here if you want to see it played during the free "Game Feedback" portion of the Monday Member stream, but you'll have to join the free Patreon tier for access. https://hypergame.dev

Had a lot of fun, thank you for sharing your work in the jam.

OK scratch my last message, I managed to cut it down to just a few hundred shy of the new limit!

Thank you for your patience, and again for bumping it up in the first place. Love the new theme features, saved me a bit of css in fact.

Best,

Hi again,

Have you thought any more about bumping the limit up to 32k or so?

Not at all, here's the last one (voting period): https://itch.io/jam/gamelike-jam-009
And current: https://itch.io/jam/gamelike-jam-010

The navbar at the bottom takes up a good amount of CSS too!

No problem, I really appreciate the quick turnaround!

I've stripped whitespace, comments, and a couple redundancies but am still sitting around 30kb. I hate to push, but would 32kb be an acceptable cap?

It's mostly overrides that reposition and restyle the countdown, header tabs, submit/join panels, and stat blocks. It's turned into a delicate balancing act to keep everything together on both desktop and mobile. I can squeeze it smaller by fully minifying, but that makes the responsive tuning pretty brittle to maintain.

Our pages look good, thanks for approaching this with care!

The only concern I have is the 5120 character limit, which was previously uncapped for jam pages. I know this is now consistent with profile and project pages, but I imagine that change will break many more jam templates than other changes this update has made! 

Hosts may not even realize they're over that limit until they try making an update, and their now "squatted" character count will be revealed as a violation...

Is there a chance that your team would be willing (or able) to uncap the CSS character limit for jam pages? 

Otherwise, I know I have a lot of unexpected cleanup and consolidation/style-sacrifice work to do... 

Wooo!

Here's the post!

👉 We have a new system that allows submissions from jammers who started a game way before this one started.

But they can't be eligible for prizes ❌🎁🥲

However...

These devs are still looking for feedback, and if you have time, it would help them out a lot if you played and commented on their projects!

Hello there! Thanks for submitting 🤗

Just so you know, per Rule 2, you must not include "Pac", "Man", or any other play on words of the name Pac-Man in your game's title!

I have to disqualify this TEMPORARILY -- That is, as soon as you update your game's title, I can requalify you!!

Please make a reply here when you've updated it to help me know you've made the change 👍

Hi! This is such a cute and impressive project! Thank you for being honest about when it was begun.

So the way we're handling these types of submissions is by **TEMPORARILY** disqualifying them during the voting period of the jam. This is just due to itch not having a way to formally exclude a game from being voted on. The idea is that games started 2+ weeks before the jam should not be eligible for prizes, but still should get a spot on the submissions page, and a lil promo too hopefully 😁

Here's the rundown:

1. Your game will be requalified at the end of the voting period!
2. I will post this and others in a Community Post and try to bring some attention to it where possible! - https://itch.io/jam/gamelike-jam-009/community

 Feel free to join the showcase queue if you definitely want your game played by me on stream! (Showcase happens when the voting ends) - https://hypergame.dev/#glj

Thanks for still submitting, I hope we can get a few people to come give yours a try!

Okay I'm just going to leave this here as a reminder before **TEMPORARILY** disqualifying this!

Thanks for still submitting, I hope we can get a few people to come give yours a try!

Regarding your pinky suture: I hope your finger is doing better! ❤️‍🩹

Also, the question is meant to flag games that began *before* the jam started, but it sounds like you're in the clear since you worked on it entirely *after* the jam started!

You're all good! Thanks for being cautious.

Thank you!!

One more thing, PLEASE do leave a reply here when you do change it, so I can requalify you ASAP 👍🏽

Hello! Thanks for submitting! Nice job getting something in so early.

Actually we've added a new question to the submission criteria that all entries need to answer (you just got yours in before I got to add it haha).

The new question concerns when projects were begun, and will be critical for helping us fairly distribute prizes. 

Please use the "Edit Submission" button at the top left of this page to find the new question. It's second-to-last in the list.

Thank you, and sorry about the extra hurdle! Good luck in the jam :D

(BTW, if you reply to this message and then remove the submission entirely (people do sometimes for some reason), then note that I won't be able to read it!)

Hello! Thanks for submitting! Nice job getting something in so early.

Two things.

1) Per rule 2, jam entries are not allowed to reference the theme game name. I will disqualify the game for now, but will requalify it as soon as the name is changed. To be clear, the game name cannot include "Pac", "Man" or any obvious homage to the BANDAI Namco IP.

Secondly, and unrelated, we've added a new question to the submission criteria! It concerns when projects were begun and is critical to help us fairly distribute prizes. Please use the "Edit Submission" button in the top left of this page to find the new question, second-to-last, and fill it out

Thanks, and sorry about that!

(BTW, if you reply to this message and remove the submission entirely, I won't be able to read it)

I enjoyed this *deeply*. Still got a few floors left to finish... there's just so much content here!

And since you were a winner of the jam, you're entitled to some nice prizes!! Let me know how I can contact you to send them your way 🤗

You can email me at lyz[dot]at[dot]hypergame[dot]dev if need be.

Congrats on the big win!!

Ahhhh This is the highest I could get !!!! 

it was a good name. rip

Game was called "Sh*tler.exe"

Not made for this jam, so disqualifying. 

Note that if you send a reply to this message and then delete the submission, I will not be able to read your response.

Clearly not for this jam. Good luck with your game though :)

Also note that if you leave a reply here and then delete your submission I won't be able to read it!

Nice, love this!

Hello there, I'm hiding this because it's solicitation. If you want to be a sponsor for the jam you're welcome to contribute something to the entrants via free gifts or prize offerings but the jam can't just be a digital billboard for anyone with something to sell.
