Something went wrong, sorry about that.
Please check the help Help page if you have a bug to report.

So here is a gif in the meantime…

And I just noticed that the gif I tried to use for a pic was too large, probably the cause. Even so, would be nicer to have some better error handling/validation.

Yes it's probably due to the picture being larger to 2MB, you can confirm that by trying to submit your game without the pic.

Sorry for the troubles, there's a Github issue about that but we didn't take the time to correct that yet!

Thanks @anttihaavikko for flagging this. We'll fix it as soon as we can (realistically this will probably be after the jam; I hope you understand ^^).

Oh yes, of course I tried without and with great success. And after verifying that I just had to shave off few seconds from the gif ;)

No worries, the site works beautifully compared to some others. For a second I was worried it could be some GGJ-like "submission hour and nothing works" issues.
