My Results

So, here's what I got from you guys on my first little jam game. * Mood: #279 (top 16%). This makes sense. I didn't spend a ton of time checking the mood after all. The game had a nice board-game vibe though which I think some people appreciated. * Humor: #530 (top 29%). Well, to be fair 100% of my humor was trying to come up with silly names for cards. I'm not a super funny person, so I absolutely think judges were right on this. * Audio: #66 (top 4%). Aww, that's disappointing, I was hoping to do a bit better on this one. One or two people mentioned fitting the music better to my theme and there was one sound effect I never got around to making. Still though my goal was to be in the top-50 of all jam games, and I do think my game deserves to be there. * Graphics: #528 (top 29%). This one, on the other hand, I agree with. I know I have a long way to go with making graphics! I'm learning and I'm far from perfect at the moment. * Theme: #598 (top 33%). I'm a bit puzzled by this one. Not 100% sure why my score is so low... will need to reflect more on that. Maybe there was too much freedom of movement? * Innovation: #130 (top 8%). Cool! This is an ok result for me, and something I always try to build on. * Fun: #175 (top 10%). A lack of a tutorial probably hurt me a lot here. I want to improve on this and I can definitely see what was missing, which is always nice because that's how you learn. * Overall: #154 (top 9%). This is better than the average of the rest of my scores so I'm glad I made an impression!

Some thoughts: * Even though this was a jam entry, I did everything without a team. Maybe if I had a team I'd have scored higher on a few of these points. For example I spent a lot of time making graphics that sucked anyway. Seems like all the best jam entries were made by teams! * So nice to have meaningful constructive feedback on a lot of these points! Some reviewers really put in a lot of effort! * I am still going ahead with making an awesome version of the game that I hope to release soon. * And I hope to do this all again later!

Thanks everyone for an AMAZING experience!
