Overall Score Formation

Can someone explain how is the overall score formed? I know it doesn't only matter how many rates you have, neither if they are good or not alone. It is something in between, but does anyone knows exactly how?

Thanks in advance!


Why don't you rate our game if you have some time?https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2019/rate/462574

I suspect there's some formula that calculated number of votes and the mean scores for each category compiled.

I like the juice and concept of your game! There's a lot of one-bullet games, and yours definitely stood out!
Check out my game too!

yeah I saw that especially in the last jam finalists. But I think the average rating number has something to do with the final score. Anyway we will see...

I believe it's all normalized, so number of ratings doesn't overly matter .... unless you're below the average. If you're below the average then your score is shifted to account for this (I think). Since obviously a very large number of similar ratings tends to indicate that the average there is accurate. If you have minimal ratings then it's less trustworthy so that will be taken into account.

That sounds legit. I think you are right.
