Hey guys, it's been three days of rating games, but there are still three more to go.

I have discovered today a very interesting feature on itch.io. Thanks to Petraefa

When you are looking at the submissions page, you can filter the submissions to show the games that have received the least rated. Or you can just click on top link that says so. Here's a screenshot:

It is not only for the voting itself, but for the feedback/comments that you can provide to them to improve their game.

I hope it will help you if you didn't know the filter, like me...

Greetings to the GameDev.tv community!

Yeah! I found that super helpful. I found a lot of hidden gems out there with only a few ratings!

yea. Ive been mostly picking out games from there to rate. The top ones are nice and ive definitely checked them out. But realistically they already have all the feedback theyre gonna need. Although, as the days go by, that filter is starting to show mostly games that werent properly uploaded and dont run.

Nice on you for posting this! I did a couple of days of playing and commenting games from this list exclusively.  I've found the feedback you can provide people is so valuable,  just based on the feedback I got myself!

Yup, it's a great feature. I primarily choose from Least Rated or Most Karma.

Unfortunately, windows have all those safety messages which push people away from downloading and playing games. Exp. my game has 24 downloads but only one rating.The game jam's feauture Its a great feature though cause it help make games total rating more fair since it encourages people to rate games without rating.

Yeah, it definitely seems that a WebGL build is the way to go if that's at all possible.

I think just wrapping it in a zip file might have helped. I've downloaded 21 games and yours was the only one with a warning
