I have a couple of tips for getting a lot of ratings.
If it fits your game, make sure you have a vibrant thumbnail. Seeing as my game has a colorful artstyle, I can make a thumbnail that really sticks out.

Give your game a name that fits with the game, but leaves people wondering what it might mean, I noticed that people click on it.

Instead of working to the last minute before the deadline, I worked during the night so I could release my game early, this way you get a head start since your game will show up in a small group of other games, instead of being compared to 6000 games, my game was being compared to 500. That combined with a good thumbnail and you get really far.

Don't make the game too long, since my game is pretty difficult people may lose interest if it's too long. People want to play other games so keep it short or else people might leave without rating.

Hope this helps! I will definitely check out and rate your game!

Seem like good tips, but you should also mention that more ratings doesn't mean more score.

Remember to tell people that the scores are the median of their total scores from ratings, so they shouldn't really r4r or keep trying to get more (I'm bad at English sorry)

True, but I do believe you need to have some amount of ratings before you can get in the top 100. I believe this is because otherwise games with only one 5-star rating get the highest scores.
