**Final progress check** ![Star](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/c/e/cee791ef79e05fb97d3b79ddb9de2f819b7d2988.png) # **How much of your game is complete?** _Poll ([view on site](https://forum.makecode.com/t/sprite-stars-a-competition/45301/522))_ You have **3 days** remaining. It doesn’t matter how much content you have, just the quality of it. If you plan on quitting, do that sooner rather than later so that a contestant that was previously eliminated can rejoin and make a game in 3 days just to get eliminated because they only had 3 days. Good luck. ---
