There are over 270 games, it's not really possible for judges to do all of the rating, there are just too many games.
Only people who have submitted a game are allowed to vote, and then the final cash prizes will be determined by the judges, looking at the top community rated games and others that stand out. That's the fairest system we were able to come up with to minimize cheating while allowing this many games to get rated and played.
Hopefully, members of our community will be heroes and go play and rate those games with 0 ratings. 🦸♂️🦸♀️
It's sad to see someone develop a game for 9 days and then not get any feedback on their game. 👀
