Hi Ben 2003, yes, there is no 'judging', it is indeed only based on ratings other jammers give you. We are unfortunately not an enormous game jam (like GMTK), so getting ratings is harder. Your game does seem very interesting, however it is less convenient to download a game than it is to play in browser. So, this might be an issue for your rating. You can ask the community to rate your game. Or you might consider adding a web build of your game to your itch page. Good luck!
