**Hello Everybody!** I know a lot of you guys were wanting to see this game enter the Critter Game Jam for this fall and a lot of you voted for it in my poll on that topic. But, I think to increase my chance of placing the top 3, I want to make a new game. I had stated in my poll that I was creating a different game for the critter jam titled “Shrew’s a Crowd.” I think it would be best for me to work on that game rather than submit a game that has already has some time on the forums: > [@A brand new evolution simulation!](https://forum.makecode.com/t/a-brand-new-evolution-simulation/43245/210): > > the idea with game jams is to submit new games! while it’s not explicitly forbidden to submit old games to the jam, they probably won’t get chosen as a winner 😛 But I still want to make this Detective Beetle game. I think it would be great to enter it and possibly get honorable mention. SO, I need your guys’ honest opinion once again. I think my chances of getting chosen as a winner would be higher for Shrew’s a Crowd, but I think I will enjoy myself more finishing Detective Beetle. _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/detective-beetle-dev/44959/37))_ Thank you! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.makecode.com/t/detective-beetle-dev/44959)._
