How can i contact admin

I am trying to share a new game i made and it keeps giving me 404 error. the first time i did it, the system gave me a message saying my game didn’t meet standards, so check variable names and stuff. its a survival platformer so i assumed it was because it had other names for ‘blasters’ and their ‘projectiles’. i have fixed them all but it still gives me 404 error and wont let me share my game

Even if the link doesn’t work you can still import the project using the link, so please send the link or the png download so we can try to find the issue!

There have been issues in the past with image data spelling bad words in the hex64 strings. I’ll check for that.

Looks like this was caused by a string that appears in ShopSpriteBackground. This is really annoying! When someone else had this issue, they split the image in half and then put the image back together with code and that solved it.

Sorry! I didn’t see this response, but I contacted the mods and the base64 encoding should not be scanned for bad words anymore, so your issue should be fixed. Try sharing the link again and hopefully it works now!
