# To all participants

 ![IMG_0976](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/2/42ac0a16a520e6e8e373e4b734aad2e49a348965.jpeg)  
@BLADEr @Iro @OrigamiArtist @Player_246 @VoxelMaster64  
You all have requested a small date extension, and that will be in place!!  
I’ll extend submissions for a week, though, because I feel like we need to finish this Jam quick before I have to return my Ipad to the school due to the end of the year. Also, y’all said about 1 week is fine, right?

Also to those who didn’t ask for this, try to make this extra week your time to make last-minute changes to your games. See what you can improve!!!  
Also, a reminder that unless it is a broken version, please update updates for your game by using the “update existing share link” function! We do not need excess games that are minor updates cluttering this topic.  
Thank you!

> could you notify me when the poll ends?

It has already ended today. Here’s your ping, @OrigamiArtist!  
(Also @Ima.notarobot can you still judge?)

Hey @RoboVacDev please forgive me, I’m truly sorry but I will not be able to judge. I’m going to a huge state archery thing that is going to take up my entire week. I will not be able to judge. Again I’m sorry for making a false promise, I didn’t realize I would be so busy.

My game is glitchy with the text, can someone debug this? I don’t mind if this is only allowed after the competition .

Probably the most unfinished game here, I need to fix the boss battle and every thing else there, its all broken.

I= Climb  
W=Jump  
Wx2=Double Jump  
B=Slash - don’t try this on enemies, it doesn’t work  
A=Left  
D=Right  
This was mainly for tiles, I messed up thinking of ideas.  
Watch out for enemies - I don’t know if this link leads to a version with non-colored enemies.

sometimes the player gets stuck on blocks, I think it’s a hitbox size change. id recommend fixing that. the hitbox is usually defined by the pixels that are not blank, so try to make them all the animation frames the same size (easier but looks worse) or have a hitbox sprite (harder but looks better)

Oh yeah, and the boss isn’t finished, so you can’t defeat it (It won’t get finished, i’m working on like 3 other games)

I was literally going to note that I knew that was happening but I forgot to. Can you fix it?

@OrigamiArtist Here is a fixed version: [https://arcade.makecode.com/S87283-59274-36034-67255](https://arcade.makecode.com/S87283-59274-36034-67255)

I did clean a bit of the code, but here are some changes made (tried my best to just then then all):

variable “Character” is now type “Player\_Visuals”

added arcade-sprite-util for a block

When you refer to “Character” to change velocity, set the position, check if it’s touching a wall, etc. use “Character Hitbox” instead (e.g. \<is (Character Hitbox) touching [left] wall\>). Animations and such still go to “Character”

This is my first time ever joining a Game Jam, so I would love to know what I could do better and feedback about my game.

I have to leave unfortunately my game deleted itself and I don’t have enough time to redo everything and don’t want to hold up the jam

If your click the “See all projects” button at the very right of all your projects, does it show? It’s been happening to me, but my project always appears there.

Thanks, but I might need to re-add the part where it opens the door. Otherwise you can’t explore the rest! Thanks for helping!
