you can see how many people rated the games in the top right! No, if no one rates you just can't win! This needs a system that forces people to rate lol it's fine tho there's no need to make a big deal about this we'll have more opportunities in the future hehe

I’m pretty sure that’s the number of ratings, not the number of people who rated the games.
And I thought it doesn’t matter how many people rated your game, just what the average rating is?
Maybe I’m wrong about that.
It’s just a shame to see you drop out of the jam because this one was my personal favourite!
I would have bet money on either this or homonculus winning. Both were very closely matched in my opinion, but this one felt a little bit more polished.
There's some math to do to understand lol but yeah if we are the jury and half of them don't rate you have a problem! In one hand imagine I could have just one person rate my game 5 stars everything and it would "win"(itch.io doesn't work like that)! So it is still unfair if I win with half the ratings, the only fair way to participate is if everyone rates! Or if there's a jury it would be fair :v there's no "punishment" for not rating lol also the technical issues, if someone decides to not play (and so not rate) a game since EFPSE games get flagged as a virus or like this situation where my game wouldn't run emulated on linux! Those are issues that game devs can't do anything about! It bothers that I "risked" my pc when other people just won't play and can't rate or just won't rate! I think these are things that can be taken into account for the next time? I'll try to share these "concerns" with Mike if I'm allowed to participate in another one lol I won't be an outsider the next time... It's all a fine
