In the rules it says that you are allowed to fix “game-breaking” bugs. What is meant by this? For instance, in my game there are mainly 3 issues I want to fix:

1) A location where you can glitch out into a place where enemies can’t reach you – ruining the point of the game.
2) Towers – in a tower defense game – that don’t fire properly, they only fire at certain enemies when the should be firing at all.
3) Difficulty – the game is way to easy, which could be easily fixed by tweaking some properties.

Now, number 3 is obviously not a bug, and definitely not a game breaking one, so I am not going to fix that. Number 1 doesn’t really matter too much in my opinion. It is number 2 that I feel is the big issue. The game works, and is playable, but one of the big mechanics doesn’t work, and if the game only had that, it would be unplayable in my opinion.

Of course, it is hard to judge this and it is very subjective. My real question is: Can I upload versions alongside the original? Say, having one version that is the game in its current state, one version with the tower bug fix, and a third version that would, in my opinion, not be qualified for judging but there for fun with balanced difficulty and fixed glitch.
