Why is there no visuals category?

For the judging there is no visuals, but there is sound design and gameplay. So does this mean if someone makes an ugly game, but it has good gameplay, and sound they might win?

Drifty would have to confirm, but I know that he's been pretty open to RTP in past jams, so that may be part of it.

Each jam is different. In this one we want to see a game that plays well, sounds good and fits the themes. If they use ugly defaults, that's fine. If someone puts extra work in making it look good it will most certainly get a higher score overall just because it will feel better to play a more customized game.

when i say Ugly game I meant like if the game used a ugly/not nice to look at style, even rtp can look nice if used properly. But glad to know all the hard work i put in to make my game look nice will get a higher score :) thanks for the replies.
