Hi, can I ask what criteria was used to assign the grades in the first place? L)

I don't want to offend anyone, but this game. "Saga of Song, Ultraviolet". Best in "innovation" although the whole point of the game is to run on platforms and collect coins. Let's be honest, it's far from the best game in terms of innovation.  The same goes for gameplay...

"Firebird DRM-Free version" Not sure why it's in 6th place on the chart either. And also ranks first in innovation, gameplay and music.

Road to Hollow Hills  is a real soap, and yet it's #1 in graphics.... all gameplay is wandering through the woods with unbelievable lags. That said, the game is 5th in gameplay, and 6th in innovation.

Is that a cringe rating?

And I have a GPA of 3... And by all accounts, I'm ranked about 15th... Although the graphics are clearly a head above a lot of the top 5.  Same goes for gameplay. 

I'm not trying to elevate myself in any way, I'm just wondering how the ratings were put up. What criteria were used to evaluate the graphics, gameplay, etc.

Thank you for understanding!

Alex: An Adventure Between the Ages
Alex: An Adventure Between the Ages — приключенческая игра, в которой вы встретите Алекса, которому предстоит разгадать всю историю и положить конец проклятию. Вас ждут стычки с призраками, множество загадок, забавный, но от этого не менее ужасающий сюжет и многое-многое другое. Старайтесь чаще оглядываться по сторонам, ведь никто не знает, где будет беда: может, в заброшенном доме, может, на улице ночью, а может… может, даже в вашем собственном доме.

Alex: An Adventure Between the Ages 
Alex: An Adventure Between the Ages is an adventure game in which you will meet Alex, who will have to unravel the whole story and end the curse. You are waiting for skirmishes with ghosts, a lot of puzzles, a funny, but no less terrifying storyline, and much, much more. Try to look around more often, because no one knows where the trouble will be: maybe in an abandoned house, maybe on the street at night, or maybe... maybe even in your own house.

What do we know about witches? Those who do not believe believe that witches are inconvenient people who should have been removed, those who believe believe that witches are a cancer of society. But has anyone wondered who they really are? What did they feel? Why were they hated?

Hello, I'm a young game developer with little to no industry experience. I finally finished an early version of my first game, and I need to be aware of my mistakes. add or remove something. I'm glad for all the answers.
