Thank you, and congrats on getting top 10%! Thats no easy feat! And I agree that good planning is absolutely necessary for game jams! It’s always the first thing I do. Good luck in the next Brackey’s game jam! :D

240+ games?! I’m in awe! You had to have played about 17 games per day to reach that. I have no idea how you managed to do that as I started getting burnt out when I had reached my 150th game rated, which is why I couldn’t get to 200. But 240+ games is really impressive!

And thank you for your compliments! I always strive to create an interesting and compelling story and characters for all my games. There are some things story-wise I could’ve done better, but I’m happy with the result :D

Congrats on almost getting 200 ratings on your game! I also noticed it was quickly climbing to the very top of the most rated. That's a huge achievement. For your 2nd game jam, top 6% is AMAZING and a huge improvement from 30%, so you should be very proud! Most games don't make it that high, and most games don't even make it to 50 ratings. With about 1500 games, its nearly impossible to make it into the top 10 in any category, so don't feel bad.

Most jam submissions don't have that kind of customization, and options are usually nonexistent or very minimal, so that might be why people didn't check. Also, most people might just look  in the page description for the controls before playing. That could also be why. I guess you could just take that critique as non-applicable. I personally didn't have any issue with the controls and thought your game was overall pretty good! Although my point still stands about improving the story, if you do end up going back to the game!

Also, how many games did you rate? It seemed like every game I went to rate, you had already rated it, lol. I always saw that you had commented just a few minutes or a few hours before I managed to leave my rating and comment on that same game. 

Congrats on your first finished game!! Positive feedback is always a plus! I don't think I had a chance to play your game, but I'm sure it was great! Good luck on your next game!

We all tend to be harder on ourselves  then we should! That's why game jams like this are important so we can get feedback! Its good that you're happy with your result, and good luck with your next game!! And thank you :D

Aww, thank you! My game did a lot better than all my previous game jam games, so I’m at happy about that. Good luck on your next game!!

I remember playing your game and having a bit of trouble with it. But the ideas were there and the visuals were very cool! Congrats on getting #416 overall!!

Thats a great perspective you have and it’s great that you pushed through your demotivation to make a game. I remember playing and enjoying your game. And you’re right about the ratings. Out of around 1500 games, it’s very difficult to be ranked very high, so we shouldn’t get too caught up over it. I’ll also be participating in the August jam, so good luck to you too!

I also played and really enjoyed your game! It was absolutely stunning. Congratulations on placing #1 in visuals and #50 overall!! :D

Be proud that you were able to submit a game at all! I remember your game had some pretty good art in it, and from what you had of the story, it seemed fairly interesting. Even if you don’t continue with your game, you can at least take it as a learning experience for future games

I’m sorry that you’re not happy with the ranking you got, but be proud that you made a game at all! Making games is really hard, and many don’t even get this far. I remember playing your game and think it was pretty good for a first game jam game. Take this as a learning experience, and you’ll have improved for your next jam :D

I remember playing your game! I would say that it was very impressive and innovative for your first game, so good job with that! And 350 out of around 1500 games is still really good, especially for your first game jam. 

The results are officially up! Our game got 102nd place. For me personally, this is a great improvement over my past game jams, so I’m pretty happy with it! 

This jam was overall a very enjoyable experience for me! My goal was to rate 200 games, yet I only managed to rate 176. But through this, I managed to play many wonderful and amazing games! It’s always so much fun to see how everyone else interpreted the theme and how they achieved that.

Also, this wasn’t  my first time participating in a game jam, but it was my first time working with a team, and that was a lot of fun as well. I couldn’t have made our submission as great as it is without them!

How does everyone else feel about their experience?

Wow, thank you!! I’m glad you liked it so much! :D

Thank you!

Thank you! Just rated yours

This was pretty fun and the voice acting was a nice touch. Good job!

Thank you! Yeah, a lot of people struggled with that puzzle, but good job on figuring it out!

Thanks!!

Will try yours soon! In the meantime, here's mine: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-15/rate/4293999

Cool game!

It was a lot of fun! Not my first game jam/game, but it was my first time doing it with a team! I was very nervous, but I'm very happy with our result! This is also the first time I managed to get one of my entries to (at least) 100 ratings!

Just rated yours! Would love if you checked out ours: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-15/rate/4293999

This was a very unique and interesting concept for a game! I liked it a lot, but for some reason couldn't get past the swing. I tried it maybe 5-6 times without succeeding. Is there a strategy for getting past that? Other than that, I would say this game definitely fits the theme very well!

Rated yours! Please check out ours as well: https://itch.io/jam/brackeys-15/rate/4293999

A very simple but fun little game! I really liked the special effects. Good job!!

Thank you!

Would love if you streamed ours! https://shlomiatia.itch.io/brackeys20261

Thank you!!

Cool game :D

The art looks phenomenal, but the puzzle could use some work as others have said. Keep up the good work!

Congrats on your first game! This was a very innovative and fun game! I think I ran into a bug where I was somehow losing air even though I was in one of the ponds? But other than that, good job!

This was such a cute little game! I enjoyed it a lot! Good job!

This game is so cute and the art is phenomenal! There's no doubt in my mind that it gets a 5 stars in that regard. The game was simple and fun, but I did think that the ramps were a bit unfair. It was quite often that a ramp would cause me to land right on top of a rat or bat and make me take damage. But other than that, this is a great entry!

Thank you! :D

This is a very unique entry and the art is just amazing! However, the game loop can get pretty boring. I'd love it if there was more interactive bits in the parts where you're watching the characters travelling. Right now you just have to sit and watch for X amount of time, which can get pretty boring. But other than that, good job!
