We had 258 votes over 13 entries! Woot!
I'll crunch the numbers and get the Shacknews Editor's Choice Award information and post the final results in the Chatty and in this thread.

I don't think the issue is the ratings. I think some of us are just confused because Asif disqualified some entries based on not following the theme, and based on that they seemed to be games already made but reskinned for this jam, based on that they charged for the game during ratings time, and one based on that there was no game available to play.
Just so everyone will know what's going on:
1) I've asked Asif for the Editor's Choice selection. I'll update this thread with that information once I have it.
2) I've asked itch.io if there's a way to detect votes from the same IP address. Those make sense to filter out.
3) I've got an eleven hour drive ahead of me today and a nine hour flight tomorrow. Assuming investigations are complete, I'll post final prize pool numbers and claim instructions to this thread once I hear back.
As Asif and others have said, there are some games that should be disqualified. As shown in the review by Asif, the game Leap of Faith has nothing to download. However, they have a download button with nothing there so that there is technically "something" to submit, otherwise it probably wouldn't have allowed them to submit their game to the jam. The game was also submitted to 3 other jams, and you can only get it on the Google Play store, which is unfair to those that don't have Android.
Asif also talks about other games he would like to disqualify like Why You Do This To Me? and yet both of these games won 1st and 2nd place. Can we get any sort of clarification on this? Thanks.
