How many games have you rated this jam? Have any recommendations for people to play?

I'm sitting at 37 games rated. I feel like I've spent a lot of time playing games, but there are over 1000 of them to try! Would love to be able to get through more so will keep on powering through for the next day or so.

One really serious point to note:

1. A lot of people are looking for the best games to play and the default thinking is that that must be games that have the Highest Number of Ratings. This isn't always true and there are some absolute GEMS that are sitting on hardly any ratings that deserve your attention too. 

For example, I found this great game at only 2 ratings. Go give some feedback if you've got the time: https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2743032

Do you have any amazing games you think people should play? 

Post a link below, but please dont post to your own game! Pay it forward and post to someone elses game that you really enjoyed.

Funnyfinds. The game is very well made, yet to this point the dev has made zero marketing effort for some reason. Definitely check this one out =)

I've managed to play 92 games this week. There really are some good games out there. Most of the games I've played had no ratings. This is my first jam, and as I got some feedback early I wanted to get through as many as I could. I won't have the time to play more before the voting deadline though.  I've really enjoyed participating in this jam and it has boosted my confidence in making games.

The Last Stand in Happy Hill currently has only 10 ratings. I found this game to be absolutely hilarious!

Hababam is also very funny, and the accompanying YouTube video that explains where its inspiration came from is bizarre and brilliant. It has 18 ratings.

I wish I could recommend more, but the majority of games that I tried that had very few ratings were broken and wouldn't load, or they didn't have anything to download (and they weren't browser games, they were meant to have something to download).

I've rated 59 so far, if we are going by lower rating here's three i would recommend.

Some of these were totally awesome. Nice recommendations. This one with only 16 recommendations so far is an absolute treat for anyone looking for a very chilled experience! https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2740039?before=11#post-10089079

I really enjoyed that one, I made a collection of ones I liked the most from the jam, the ratings are higher than the above ones but they were ones I want to go back to play later.

My favorites were Free Francis, absolutely hillarious https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2730935 and Extinction denied https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2739501 a well made dinosaur game. I've rated 53 games so far, I actually scrolled through the list and bookmarked everything that caught my eye. Many games are a bit loose on the theme though. Not sure how many I can still play before voting ends

I thought this game was amazing and didn't have very many reviews Rate Jenga Defenda by Thomas Sauerzapf, IJakonI, TheKitycat, Nomido, Sarah Wegmann for GameDev.tv Game Jam 2024 - Free Course For All Submissions! - itch.io

For the full experience you need to play multiplayer but I highly recommend!

There were so many great games it's hard to choose but two real standouts for me were
Engulfed by flavedogame, Eugenia, and spiritbeard https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2732317
Tea And Coffee and All by Dreamtek https://itch.io/jam/gamedevtv-jam-2024/rate/2742539
Also when i just needed to play something relaxing and unwind after playing a lot of submissions I kept coming back to
