Hey all you lovely people perusing the submissions of beautiful stuff sent in,
There's a lot of cool stuff in this jam that's PWYW and/or free so I wanna leave a few words of wisdom that were hard-earned.
This is for anyone who is new to Itch or for whatever reason just isn't aware: if a game is offered to you free, the least you can do is rate it. You don't have to write a dissertation about existential complexities of blah, blah, blah... Just give it the stars you think it deserves, if you wanna be real good to the game designer then leave a comment saying what you liked about it.
This isn't a demand. This is just one game designer who at one point was new to Itch and felt bad months later when she realized she should have left a rating for all the games she was gifted.
