The ratings said something like "you can only get 4 stars if you dowload textures instead of creating your own."

If i only download one (right now, for the player bc im bad at making characters), can i get a full 5 star rating?

i might be wrong with the "star rating", but i forget how do they rate our games :P

The rule is not hard and fast, as there are different levels of "using external assets."

If all of your art is from free art packs, you'll definitely cap at 4/5 stars.

If you use a single texture but everything else is newly created, we might not subtract a full star, at the discretion of the person judging your game.

So you might get something like 4.9 for art if your art is mind-blowing but you used a single downloaded texture. :)

Thank you for the answer.

So it depends on who rates the game and how seriusly he/she takes the rating rules right?

Well all the judges take the rating rules seriously - but it's not a cut and dry one-star deduction. The judging process is a bit complex behind the scenes, and there's already too much text on the jam page, so the description there is a brief approximation.
