I haven't rated any games up to this point in the competition, although I was thinking about doing it over the winter break.

But, I didn't, and here I am -- 39 hours left to rate games, and I have a total of two ratings on my game.

I'm not going to ask for ratings or anything like that, because quite frankly, it's my own fault for not trying harder.

But I am going to start playing games in the hope that I will get a rating of some sort. However, I believe that I might get screwed over by the filter, which does not, as far as I know, prioritize games with high smart balance if they do not also have close to twenty ratings.

I suppose I shall find out. :)

Hi people, we are nearing the end of LD40 play+rate time, so please feel free to post your HTML5 games in the comments (sadly filtering for HTML5 submissions doesn't seem to work!). Also make sure to check out your fellow developers games :)

We're still overwhelmed at how many people have checked out Jazzy Beats, which might even make it to 200 ratings soon. That's far more than anything that our team could have anticipated! Thank y'all!

So, we wanted to share a bit of the love and support we've been getting. Here's some people that have featured Jazzy Beats. You're the best!

Mug and Play, who even made a Jazzy Beats style character on the thumbnail! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O98TiD0zx7Y

Randomise User, who checked some other awesome games from the Jam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEapySEVwTE

Gubbzington's is here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7oxWFefLYM

And here's AwesomeMe's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98bOJDKDQ2A

And last but not least, a review from Gamejam Curator. In their words, The art of this game has fascinated me, it’s very polished and with a lot of personality, which seems to be a usual feature in the games of Whales and Games. They have managed to give their game a very professional finish, so I'’ll definitely remain attentive to their future projects. We're overflowing with joy :)

Once again, thanks a bunch for the fun times on this jam. As the clock keeps ticking, there's still a lot of people who are below their rating goals, so be sure to give them a good chance just like you've helped us. We're still checking out games as well (when the team is not sick). Let's keep supporting each other! :whale:

We got to rating late this time around, but we're still hoping for those 20 ratings ^^

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/ingredients-of-insanity

Post yours and I'll rate it, it's busy comfy Christmas time, I hope everyone is sitting at a fireplace with a cup of tea with their favorite book =)

Hello friends, having a little problem with the ratings, I've been playing and rating games on the last few days, but my game hasn't be rated. If possible, would you guys please play and rate my game?

https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/bighead

Thank you very much!!

First of all thanks a lot for people who played my game.

Before the reviews close I would love if I can get some more feedback. Please play my game

Thanks

Last day for playing jam games and rate them.

For example, my : https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/catch-the-bomb

And i planning to continue develop it after ludum dare. So please leave feedback, what you like, what not, some ideas maybe.

Hi! :wink: I have a VERY simple game running in browser. It will take about 5 minutes to rate it. I promise to play and rate every HTML5 which will be in comments to this post :pray:

:point_right: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/badger-runner

Only 32 hours remain for ratings! It's your last chance to rate the TWO games that team Cocoa Moss made this jam! Give em a try -- they're totally worth it! But...you don't have to take my word for it: here are some good things other jammers have already said about our games!

Goodnight Sheep:

"Oh my goodness, this hit me in the chest. I’ve been there, lying awake, with spiraling thoughts and frustration. There was a time during college where this was me, and oh my. It brought me right back to it." --@serpentworks-games

"Man this one gave me some feelings! Great music, great sound design, and the emotional arc was really strong. I love how the music subtly changed in each segment corresponding to the tone of the thoughts too." --@adhesion

"It’s a beautiful cute little game with a heart warming narrative. The change in music as the mood in the dialogue changes is perfect, it made me wish I had the means to the same in my narrative game." --@youbestrong

Samurai Shaver:

"Fantastic entry! A one-button game shouldn’t be this fun! Awesome graphics, music and atmosphere. And just like IRL, there’s nothing quite as satisfying as a perfect shave :D" --@cosmiccrystalgames

"Oh my god Rhythm Heaven is one of my favorite series ever and you’ve pretty much nailed it. All of the songs are super dope, and the art style is pretty and endearing." --@jjjjason

"Absolutely stunning, the music and art is quite remarkable and it’s always fantastic to see rhythm games in LD (since they’re so rare, at least to be done well!)" --@profan

Second edit: There is actually a problem here -- when I refresh the page, the game listing switches to all jams, even if it was previously set to featured event. This is really annoying.

There's also a relevant issue on the github.

~~A couple of games just appeared in the "Smart" listing that apparently already have ratings? Here is an example.~~

~~This is personally super annoying, because I'm trying to rate games, and when rating is apparently randomly closed, that makes rating a lot harder.~~

~~It also means that my game is being pushed farther down the list, which is exactly the opposite of what I need right now.~~

~~Edit: Never mind, I figured it out. Apparently I managed to switch the listing to all jams. You can safely ignore this post.~~

Last chance to play and rate! I'll play and rate yours too :grin:

If anyone records a video playthrough I'd LOVE to see!

Since it's almost the last day for rating everybody seems to be reposting about their game. So I felt like I should do it too: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/soul-warrior-merope-soaring-soul

Please try my game out if you can and enjoy~

Hey everyone! Happy winter holidays and Merry Christmas!

We wish you happiness, lots of good news and may your dreams come true!

We' hope you'll enjoy the game!

...and if you like the game, please...

Since it's the last day, I guess I'll try getting some more of those last moment votes aswell. :grin:

If you didnt already play the game - check it out. You can play the HTML5 Version of it.

Also a post Jam Version is still in progress.

This is currently in development (Beer Land) but not finished.

Come and checkout if you want https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/40/wonder-land

Some games I've found interesting or fun, all have a web option.

• El Centro Comercial with Sweatheart - fun interpretation of the theme
• Castle Diorama - more toy than a game, but very beautiful and zen
• Being Plundered - space miner/shooter - good controls, a bit of depth for a compo game
• Bullet Hell - bullet hell :)
• The Star War 2: The quest for more money - masterpiece

You can also try out my game, Eight More Drinks, Please, also available with a web build.

It was my first game jam ever and I had got tons of positive emotions and experience. Thank you all for these fantastic challenges, games, ratings, and feedbacks.
Just want to wish you all the best for the future year. Good luck with your future projects! :smile:

btw[1] Here is my JAM timelapse :
