But then why is there a Rate the Game option available on every game if only judges can vote?

Not sure, maybe it's a quirk of itch.io's UI?

Voting for the Jam is set this way in the control panel:

Who can vote on entries?

[ ] Submitters only — Submission uploader can vote on other entries

[ ] Submitters & contributors — Both submitter and contributors to submission can vote

[ X ] Judges — Only people added as judges can vote

[ ] Public — Anyone can vote

Quite a few people have already voted so that might affect the ratings

I looked into this more, and I think what you are seeing may be the standard itch.io rating option available for all entries on the platform. I don't think that gets mixed with the ranking done by judges.

Feel free to share a screenshot if you want though.
