Quick answers
Can an existing game enter?
Yes, in the Best Ported Daily Game category, for a game ported from another platform or built on the entrant's own IP. The entrant must own the original game.
Does the game have to be published on Reddit?
No. Reddit asks entrants to wait with publishing until the hackathon ends. A private app with a public demo post is enough.
