I definitely felt as though this was inviting low-effort entries - and would have been entirely happy with that - which is partly why it was such a surprise to have wall-to-wall bangers. Most jams you expect at least a few that are just interesting rather than impressive, and it’s not even as if those entries are unwelcome.

Ironically, I think it's the assets themselves to blame for that. They're not bad per se, but their more... representative nature invites creativity in a way that high quality graphics never seem to. On top of that, you eliminated the graphics and sound variables from the dev equation. It really is a neat setup for a Jam.
