The good part:

So first of all this are my results...I am not here to complain about them! My Game that so so many of you guys played over the last weeks scored at the 310th position! Thanks to every single one of you and for huuuuuuge amount of feedback in the comment section...Haven't seen something like that before!💙

The very sad part:

I was just scrolling through the "BEST" games in each category and for my surprise I there were only 1 or 2 I have seen before! For the whole rest I thought I was looking at some other game jam from last year!🤣

To the point..most games that placed excellent, were so close to not even being ranked because of low ratings (just above 20 in some cases)! If I remember right the concept of LD is to play + rate other games in order to help other developers and in order to get that "feedback karma". The algorithm may has forgotten to take this into consideration!!! The top games not only have the lowest amount of feedback but they didn't even care about rating others or leaving a feedback in the comments!😤 That's a shame or the rest of the community!!!

What I have learned from this experience? 🤔

I think I finally figured out how to rank high..follow the steps:

1) Create a little something

2) Upload and forget about it

3) As you don't think about LD, hope that almost no one discovers your game

4) Hope to have just over 20 ratings but please don't take your time to rate or like others

5) In case this 20 ratings are over 3,5 stars you did it!

6) Set a reminder for when the game jam is over to check your results (no need to log in for 2 weeks)

7) Enjoy and be surprised about your rank

THE END

A lot of changes need to be done beore the next LD and hopefully this unfair ranking system will be fixed very very soon!

**Sry if you feel triggered or offended by this post! I have no intension to talk about any specific game but my point is about numbers and results!✌
