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

Yeah, I think having a small team of judges would be the most fair option for a future jam.

(+1)

I agree, I think for the next jam I'll definitely have a panel of judges, it's unfortunate that people didn't rate and play all the games, I asked nicely many times but there was quite a lack of votes. Sorry guys, it was my first game jam so I'm still learning how to do it properly :')

I don't know how itchs jam system works, it might not be possible to configure a jury and let the system define the winner including the jury's vote! It might not be that crazy for games to be pulled out of jams too, I imagine this could happen in any jam :v but for now lets see who won today lml
