Well, this is just my wild guess, but did you gave a version number to your project?

Because integer = normal number, so I think the problem must be something related to numbers somehow.

By the way, is your project called "Just Keep Swimmin"? I'm recently having problem with my ratings not registering on game pages. I gave a 5-star rating to your project. Did you get it? I see that your profile is registered since 2016, so you must have a lot more experience with itch than me. Is it not allowed to freely give ratings to projects?

I posted it via Microsoft Edge just fine, so the problem must be in Chrome or something.

As for the ratings, that is my project, but I don't see any ratings on it. I would imagine that you can't give a rating unless you download the game at least.

Thanks for replying :) And good to hear your problem was solved. Yeah, web browsers work mysteriously.

And about the rating: Recently I can not give a rating to any game, even to those, which I downloaded before. And, free games being out in the open, people may just have already downloaded them without any itch account, and may just have registered only to throw a good rating at a game, so I don't really see the necessity of downloading free games logged-in, before giving them a rating, but I also see you have a very valid point. Now I have downloaded your game, removed my rating, than added it again, I can bet though, that it didn't register correctly again. I do very much hope it's just a bug, and I didn't get some account restriction for giving ratings to too many games xD

I'm still not seeing a rating show up anywhere on my game. I'm not entirely sure where it would show up, so I could very well be looking in the wrong spot.

Thanks for helping me, and I checked and even my new rating didn't show up on your game page. You can see your ratings under a small link, named "More information" on your game page, normally, that's the case, but as I see when a game is in a jam, even that may change.

Actually the "Rate This Game" button disappeared from your game page and got replaced by a "Rate For Mini Jam" button. It seem to be that giving ratings without a review, by simply throwing 5 stars on them is not allowed on games which are in jams . That's an interesting new thing I learned here!

And now I've learned that as well! I may have an account from 2016, but I was mostly buying games or looking at games back then so we're learning at the same time.
