For some reason, people REALLY don't like rating on Game Jolt in comparison to other platforms. I think it's because most people consider following a game as their method of outwardly supporting it.
Here's a Tweet I made in 2019 comparing my stats on YouTube and Game Jolt: https://twitter.com/Popgoes6/status/1174432367978659840
I can confirm that this disparagement has continued into 2020. Fun fact: only THREE PERCENT of people who have downloaded PA2020 have given a rating (good or bad).
And from what I understand, the average rating of a game on Game Jolt (and also follower-count) is considered in an algorithm when ordering games in search and tag results. But because so few people like games, it means whenever anyone downvotes, it has the potential to complete ruin a game's average rating, plummeting it down search results!
So, fans giving their honest opinion can actually REALLY help a game's success, and longevity, on Game Jolt. If you like a game, SHOW GAME JOLT THAT YOU LIKE IT!
Thank you for your support. And of course, please do this for ALL of the games you enjoy on this website!
On another note - we are aware of a few extra bugs that have popped up and will be working on a new build to be released this week. Thanks for your patience!
