I was wondering if the final rating of a game depends on the amount of ratings. Because if not, would a game with only one rating, but everything five stars, always win the game jam?
you need 20 rating to be considered.
I think... rating other people games gives you karma and as far as I know this factor is being taken into account in overall winner calculations.
I think... having to many ratings can lower your chances of winning.
Anyway - thinking about winning is not a right attitude here... its all about fun. For me, best part of game jams is just exploring the other people ideas.
