There are 47 entries and 63 ratings at the time of me writing this, and the voting started like 5 days ago, and there is like a day left for the voting to end. I felt guilty at first because I have only rated 9 games, but if you do the math, I'm one of the participants who have rated the most games. Also, 4 people have reviewed my game, but it says that I only got 2 ratings, so what's up with that? Is Itch.io buggy or a lot of people forgot to rate the entries?
You sure the 13 people were participants? 4 out of 13 is a big difference. In my case, I don't have a browser version, only windows version to download, like 6 people downloaded my game, 4 reviewed it, and 2 rated. I think I have no way of knowing if those 6 were participants, but the reviews were participants fore sure.
That's a possibility, yes, but only one person reviewed my game before the voting started, and such person said that they actually rated the game afterward. However, I don't doubt that forgetting to rate a game is something that happens often.
I have joined some jams too, but for me, this time is more noticeable than usually, that’s why I pointed it out. it's just more fun when more people engage, you know, and you get more exposure and feedback.
