Sinespace founder and lead developer Adam Frisby has some important developer advice to increase your chances of winning:

• "Please test your work! It hurts us to discount entries if they were broken, especially if they were well made.
• "You can update your work between submission and us testing it - but be aware, when we test could be anywhere in the following week, so your update may not be guaranteed to be tested.
• "Myself and @Jayden Catnip are not part of the judging pool, and will happily offer advice to entrants. So if you need more assistance, please reach out to us on Discord."
