New to game jams, I'm confused ๐Ÿ˜•

Hey guys, this is my first time participating in a game jam. I'm just asking, are the games usually rated really hard? Because as far as I know, 1 would be bad/non existent and 5 is really good. Or is it that a rating of 1 is a bit good and 5 is really good? I'm asking because my game was rated at an average of about 1.4, and while my game's not great, it's also not... horrible. At least, I didn't think so. So am I just misunderstanding the rating system?

It's also my first game jam too....and i am also a bit confused , I thought if we get more rates we would ranked higher , but i was wrong , it depends on luck and game performance . ๐Ÿ™ƒ

What happen if anyone get 4-5 total ratings but all 4-5 ratings are 5 star ratings then can he will become winner?

You need both a good average rating and at least the median number of ratings (example 20 in this jam).
