I have a few questions: - 15 days is a little bit vague, maybe use a date in the future? (I guess this one isn’t a question. Huh) - Coming up is fall, and I remember @richard saying that the next big game jam would happen this fall. Is it possible that this event could be paused so I could win the fall jam and then get back to win this? - Is the due date when I post it or when it’s approved? I don’t want to post my game last minute just to get disqualified because it wasn’t approved in time. ---

the only thing I’m judging (not harshly) is that the signs are scaled which makes it look kinda weird. ---

Awwww that’s unfortunate. OH WAIT IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE FOR HELP TOPICS!!! For users to say that they are also having an issue! @MakeCode For some reason the #Arcade > Global MakeCode Arcade Game Jam topic tag is marked somewhere as a “help” topic, which is why you can mark solutions when you make a topic with that tag and why this new “Me Too” button exists. Any chance we can get this functionality moved to the #Arcade > Help tag? Or just disable it I guess but that would be sad.
