Just placed 3rd at my first game jam!

Had to share with this community, I decided for my second game to just rip off the band-aid and I entered a game jam targeted at beginners. I placed 3rd - with 1st and 2nd going to more seasoned game developers. I never imagined that, going in, I would be on the pedestal. I just have to thank everyone that participates in game development and indie gaming as a community - including you, reading this.
If you are curious and want to check it out:
Congratulations to that!
Thank you! It was lots of fun, a great learning experience, and seeing all the games was great! Definitely not the last jam I will participate in, can only recommend it to other devs.
Your game had the best bug-free score on at least the first 3 pages. That alone is pretty cool
Thanks :D Although, I do think there are a few that ranked higher than me on the first page alone, Sisyphus Idle, Growth, Mine That Crystal, some others too.
But #12/97 is still quite respectable, considering I was concerned about how my code had developed by the end :D
Ohh you're right I didn't realize the order of categories was different
But still! Like you said, #12 is crazy good
