As a user who had first time participate this game jam, i need a definition of “rate for rate”, also example of that?
Viewing post in No rate for rate. Please.
Some people will go around, offering to rate the games of other people, if those people rate their game. This exchange doesn't mention playing the game at all, it's just about getting more ratings on games. So a group of people could get dozens of fake ratings on their games in a very short amount of time and inflate their scores.
If you want people to rate your game, the best way to do it is to:
Play the games of other people, leave some helpful feedback and rate their game fairly, and then ask if they'll play your game.
That will result in a much more fair jam. 👍
This is off topic, but I didn't think it needed a new post...however, I published my game on the gdevelop website under my user name. But strangely the game is not listed on my game page, and it is not listed on the "Game Jam 8" page, even though I provided the link during the submission.
