That's a good point! An "A" it is :D

That's a good way to look at it! And 52 gamees rated is a huge accomplisment! Congrats! As for my game's rating, is it what it is, I guess. All I can do is hope I do better next time :D

You should be extremely proud! Those are amazing results. I haven’t played your game, but I’m sure it was great :D

Yeah, a lot of people miss that rule. But I don’t think it’s weird to have two versions of the same game on your page! One of my teammates did something similar with his game from the last Brackey’s game jam. He renamed the old one as the “jam version” and the new one as the expanded version. I think the rule is in place so that future players aren’t misled about what was done during the jam period. Or maybe if Brackey’s makes a video on some of the games, he wants them to be shown as they were when submitted. Or something like that. A lot of people don’t follow or listen to the rule though. 

Congrats! That’s an amazing ranking. I don’t think I I managed to rate your game, but it looks great!

Those results are amazing, congratulations!  I remember playing your game and having a lot of fun with it! And your point makes sense! I stopped caring too much about the ranking results after my first jam.Also, I don’t think you’re supposed to update the jam entry after the first 48 hours after the submission period is over. I think the rule states that if you want to make any other updates, you should make a new project and keep the original as the “jam version”.

We put tags on our game, but I do think I heard somewhere incremental games were popular on itch. I had a theory posting early was a factor, but I wasn't sure until you confirmed! Thanks for telling me! :D

I remember seeing your game up there for basically the whole thing! I've always wondered how entries get to the most rated and stay up there. Mind telling me your secret, or was it just luck?

Making a game in 7 days is really hard, so submitting a finished product is impressive as is!

The next Brackey's jam starts February 14 (6 months from now. You can register here or on this jam's page: /jam/brackeys-17

Yeah, I noticed that as well. I focus more on the comments left, but it’s still fun to look at the rankings! Though even with your points, your game still ranked pretty high! Good job!

That’s very good! I’ve done quite a few game jams myself and it’s very difficult to crack top 100! 201 overall is about top 8-9%, which is still very good! Great job!

That is really good! Good job! I remember playing your game and it definitely stood out to me. 

That’s amazing! I remember playing your game and thinking it was pretty good! In my opinion, improvement is the most important thing, so it’s good you improved! See you next jam :)

That’s fair! I’ve found that I get a lot more ratings when I’m the one making the post asking for rate 4 rates. But that is of course with the expectation that I rate all the takes people post there. Which could be a lot!

That’s such a nice story! That’s great that you were able to make the best of the experience. Good luck on your game!

Yeah, you need at least 20 ratings. Butt that’s still pretty good even with only 6 ratings! Good job!

It’s definitely difficult to get yourself out there! Especially with 2,000+ games submitted! Making a game in seven days is very difficult, so anyone that achieved that should be very proud! It’s good that you’re taking this as a learning opportunity :D

Oh wow! That’s really good!! You got top 100 in almost every category, congrats! I remember playing yours, it was really fun! :D And thanks!

I’m honestly a bit disappointed that my team’s game didn’t get in the top 100 overall. BUT! I still had a very fun time playing and rating so many games! I ended up rating 144 games, and my team’s game got 130 ratings. Despite not getting the ranking I was hoping for, I’m still really proud of my team’s game and what we were able to accomplish!

This is very beautiful and the music is calming too. I think some levels are very clever. The last level is very clever too but, SPOILER, once I got to the door up above, there was something blocking me from going there. Like some kind of invisible wall. Same thing happened when I restarted. So sad that I didn't get to see the ending but this was still an amazing entry nonetheless. Good job!

Wow! This is very polished and the art is so nice. I especially like the one at the top with all the animations. And the voice acting is a nice touch too! It sounds like it's straight out of an anime! I do feel like maybe there should be some kind of point system with more points given the less moves you use. Right now, the moves are limited to the exact amount you need, which sometimes hints towards the answer. But that's just a minor gripe. Good job on this one!

Thank you and rated!

Wow! Just wow! This is amazing and so creative! And the art is absolutely stunning too. Great job on this one!

This is very cool! I absolutely love the art style and the sfx/music was really good too! My only critique is that the controls really tripped me up and I kept pressing the wrong ones and falling off. I'm not really sure how that could be fixed though. Good job on your entry!

Vert cool game and interesting concept. It was fun strategizing which questions to ask.

Thanks! I was the artist and writer. I tend to add fourth wall breaks into my games, especially ones that have a lot of writing (it can get hard to come up with so much in such a short time and fourth wall breaks are a bit cheap.) And there are definitely a few plot holes that I’m not too happy about. Actually, you’re the first one to actually notice one. Unfortunately, it’s another one of the downsides of a short time frame. Maybe it makes more sense to think of it has part of the fantasy part of the setting, but that’s a bit of a stretch. Thanks again for playing!

Aww, thanks!

The art style for this is really cool! And I really love the voices too. I know in the description it says that the fingerprint and body heat scanner takes awhile, but it would be nice to have some kind of indicator to show that its working. I know slowly turn green, but for me, sometimes they wouldn't start until I was holding down the corresponding key for a long while. Otherwise, great entry!
