isn't it not fair that a team can make a much better game then a single person?
It's true that it isn't fair, but theres no easy way to fix that. The main point of the jam is to make things and have fun, and limiting the number of people that could work on a project would go against that. If you care a lot about winning the best move is to join a team, but in my opinion winning shouldn't be your goal when doing game jams
