Allow clicking/tapping Ratings to see actual value in tooltip

Hey, I just discovered this issue now while browsing on my phone, but on a desktop computer, hovering over the star rating on both the search page and the game page will show a tooltip that shows the actual value displayed by said rating.

Here's an example:

Itch Search Page Result Rating
Search page result: Tooltip on hover for star rating says, "4.82 average rating from 310 total ratings"

Itch Game Page
Game page: Tooltip on hover for star rating says, "4.8"

Unfortunately, there's no way to hover on mobile. I thought a tap or long press might activate the tooltip instead, but neither do on either platform. For what it's worth, I'm using an Android smartphone with Vivaldi (Chromium-based) mobile browser, and a Windows 11 desktop where I've accessed Itch on both Vivaldi and Firefox browsers.

My solution would be that instead of only hovering, simply tapping/single-clicking the star rating on both mobile and desktop should activate the tooltip. It would also be nice if every instance of viewing the rating value had consistent phrasing.

Could this small thing be updated?
