I don’t wanna sound salty at all, but some of the games in the top 10 look and play like AI generated messes. I don’t mean to sound negative, but some of these games are just not good. If you don’t realize which ones I’m talking about, I’d be happy to let you know.
There is also a big difference between the ratings of the first game and the second game. The first one has 4 stars, and the second has 3.4. I’ve taken part in a bunch of jams, and I can tell you that this kind of gap is not common, so I’d suggest taking a look into that as well.
And third point, you can chalk this up to me being salty, but I received over 20 percent one star ratings. In my experience, when you get that many one star ratings, it usually means something fishy is going on with the voting.
If you are interested in how to fix this, I’d suggest playing and judging all the games, not just the top 10. I’ve played some pretty cool entries in this jam, and it is a shame they are being overshadowed by all this buffoonery.
