Zipped a folder containing the Build for WebGL , any way to make it playable?

We uploaded a build for the GMTK Jam  and cannot upload again until after voting is done. The structure goes zip>folder>The build instead of just zip > build. Is there any way to salvage this or are we just screwed?

HTML games don’t need to be at the top level directory of the zip if that’s what you’re asking. It will take the first index.html that it finds in the zip file.

If you’re saying it’s zipped twice, then you’re out of luck.

if that's not it why wont it run? I cant figure it out

You packaged it incorrectly for your game engine most likely. Our system was able to pick up your index.html. It’s all on you and your code at that point, you can use the browser console to check what kind of error your code is generating.

We managed to get a build working here without issue, the password is WalterWilson. We still have no Idea why the build we submitted for the Jam doesn't play. too late to fix it now I guess.
