Allow me to offer a personal view, and the hosts can consider it as they sit fit.

I think this game jam has been great, this year and last year. For next time, I would like to see that there is an extra voting category based on the game's take on the theme. I think (nearly) all other game jams have that. It should be noted, highlighted, emphasized and reminded each time, that strict adherence to the theme is never a 'requirement' per se, this is a relaxed game jam and it's fun and should stay that way. But I personally felt limited when I wanted to reward some submissions with some extra 'voting praise' because they did such a good job interpreting the theme (in a literal or very metaphorical, and sometimes in a hilarious and very enjoyable/unpredictable way) in contrast to others whose approach was a bit 'lazier' or non-existent. Which is totally fine, their right etc. no judgements there, but like I said, I would have liked to praise those that put some effort. 

Take this suggestion as you will ;)

Yeah I was kind of surprised to not see an option on the voting for a theme category. Usually there is one.

I've taken to boosting the 'mood' score for games that meet the theme especially well.

Thats a really good idea yeah
