Do you get penalised for not managing to submit a game?

If you join a game jam and don't manage to submit your game in time or leave the jam do you get penalised with Itch.io (like ranked down/have account restricted/etc) or does it not matter if you don't manage to submit a game even though you joined the jam?

At the moment I'm in a mini game jam but I'm not too sure whether I'll manage to complete my game in time so if I don't manage to complete it in time so I'm trying to think do I just keep going or is it better to leave the jam if you don't think you'll submit in time?

To the best of my knowledge, nothing bad happens if you fail to submit a game. Life happens. Making games is hard. And jams are supposed to be fun, not put pressure on you.

Thanks for the reply - at the moment I decided to do a game for the  Kaiju jam with the idea that the grim reaper would turn up and challenge the player with something else after they've died, but it's just took me ages just to get the first bit working properly.  Can't believe I  spent ages trying to get unity to behave with certain items only to find out I hadn't ticked certain boxes!!
