Zack was kind enough to give me a second chance to upload my game, and this time the upload was successful! Here is the finished version of my entry, "How":

I hope you enjoy it! :)
And...uh...I guess this means that WITS and I are still in competition. So let the first true battle of JK begin!

Blargh.
[Edit - Nevermind this post. Zack gave me another chance to upload it.]
You may be wondering why I haven't uploaded my JK entry. Here's why:
Last night at 10:30 I got on GJ to upload the finished project. It all went well up until I tried to upload the .exe file. The progress bar immediately jumped to 100% completetion, but it took literally about 4 or 5 minutes before I finally got the prompt that the file had been updated. So once it had supposedly finished, I tried to download the game file to make sure everything worked alright. It didn't. I got a 403 error page about "you are forbidden to access this file How_v1_0.exe...."
(Might I note that nobody was on the chat at the time, so I couldn't get any help with this issue.)
So I tried to upload it again on GJ. It did exactly the same thing - it took forever and I got a 403 error upon downloading. So as a desperate backup plan, I tried to upload it on YYG. Again, everything worked fine until I uploaded the .exe. Then the progress bar suddenly jumped to 100% and took ages to upload. I finally just gave up on it.
tl;dr: I couldn't upload the file.
So there you have it. I'm sad to say, but I concede to WITS due to technical difficulties. Very sorry to disappoint. :(

orange08 officially wins :\
Since Electron couldn't upload his game before the deadline (December 6th at midnight), I am the official winner.
Thank you all for your support :)

A response
In response to SpyDog's fictional story, I tried long and hard to come up with a game concept that would hint SpyDog's style and not suck... I couldn't come up with one, so instead I started on a sequel to one of my past games. I'm currently working on the online account system. Also, we must have different definitions of "miracle". By your definition of miracle all of my games are miracles. And in closing, my JK game is also almost finished, so I'll either publish a beta or v1.0 soon.
A Story
Gather 'round, kids. It's time for a story. Now, once upon a time there was a boy named WITS. He thought he was soooo amazing at game making. He even dared to accept the challenge of the mighty Spydog.
He posted on the JoltKombat blog about how his opponent was a dog, and how that was so lame, and blah blah blah. Then he actually played Spydog's games, and realized that he needed a miracle to beat his opponent's utter greatness.
"What have I done?" he thought. He then crawled under his desk, curled up in a ball, and rocked back and forth as he considered the brutality of his upcoming defeat. And he has remained under his desk ever since, never once daring to post a progress update on the JK blog. The end.
(Also, my JK game is almost finished. I'll publish a beta soon!)
