itch.io

Best Biblical game I have ever seen! I am looking forward for the next levels.

A unique blend of strategy and speed, in a realistic jungle atmosphere.

Sweet game - both entertaining and educating

Great game of physics puzzles - the heir of "Portal"

Very challenging. Requires both strategy and dexterity. Great job!

The contest in my class ended at Thursday, 13/08 16:30 GMT.  My students probably created accounts at the hours before the deadline in order to boost their grades. But any accounts created after the deadline are probably not related to my students, since they do not gain anything at this point,

Thanks a lot. Did you also check this page? https://aripash.itch.io/five-balloons

I totally agree with you that this was not a good idea for grading. I was too naive. 

Another question: Is there a way to see how the number of ranks of a game changes over time?

The grade in the course was based mainly on the development process of the game itself during the semester. The "marketing exercise" was for bonus points. I promised 10% bonus for the first place, 5% for the second, 3% for the third. I did not believe that student would cheat (and risk losing the entire course) just for this small number of bonus points.

Thanks. It's been a hard semester, we could not have exams on campus due to COVID and had to find creative ways to encourage students to work. I did not think they will abuse it this way.

Question: when an account is suspended, are the ranks given by this account to specific games removed from the rank-count of the games?

The three leaders currently are: https://avihuoshri.itch.io/test-drive and https://aripash.itch.io/five-balloons and https://shaykeshok.itch.io/gold-minner .

I know that they spent a lot of effort to have their friends register into itch.io and rate their game, which I think is legitimate.

What I would like to know is if any of them created a lot of fictitous accounts (e.g. from the same IP address), which I think is illegitimate.

Thanks

I teach a course in game development. As a part of the course. I asked my students to upload their developed games to itch.io. I promised bonus points to students who will have the largest number of 5 stars rankings. I suspect that some students opened fictive itch.io accounts in order to artificially give a lot of 5 starts ranks to their own game. Is there a way to check this? E.g., is there a way to check whether many different accounts were opened from the same IP adderss?

But my game is web-based, so it is not downloaded. How can I see how many times it was played online?
