Hi Leafo! Thanks for the new updates to the submissions page. The filters help a lot to tell which games will end up on Mark's top 100. I have a quick question though, how does the popular filter work? Is it based on view/download count on the page? Thank you!

The "popular" sort sorts entries by their global itch.io popularity score, which is a secret algorithm used to sort games on pages like /games

It''s not affected by jam votes or scores. It gives people a quick way to see what the community at large is interested in or talking about.
