I'm talking about "playtesters" as in "unknown other jammers streaming their rating timeframe", not "people who got to know the game and already were good at it during the jam". The ratings are still honest, self-decided and made innocently after discovering the game.
But yeah, those are the set rules to play by, and I agree with you. Wrote about it here =)
I won't delete any, but please refrain from posting cynical remarks about the rating.
The whole devlog is viewable on twitch, and most of the ratings are viewable in playtesters streams. By questionning their fairness, you're not being nice to your own image, but you're also being disrespectful to @beowulfus_universum, @smallsthekobold, @luquitasdev, @mrnyrh, @exoskull1, @hedge_in, @antonio_fgomes, @Serket Studios, @lolibgpgm, @breloof, @gnomable, @Suchmish, @hawke_games, @sonnymakesgames, @timfactorial, or all the other I forgot to note on my spreadsheet 😅
I shouldn't feed the troll, but I'll answer here once and for all:
Fewer people plays download-only games but the required effort is prone to playtesting a tiny bit more, hence experiencing the good stuff more, hence better notes. I manually reached out to unknown-to-me playtest streamers and got them to play the game. The 30 ratings are a result of 5 days of that. They're aren't the ones who will give the best ratings tho, their viewers who see the game and be like "yo I NEED to play that" will be.
The style may be "only good" to your non-jammer eyes, but when combined with others mostly-polished aspects, it might gets boosted. Ratings categories bootstraps eachothers, especially when solo-jamming.
You are posting half of the comments in there, that is highly suspicious.
I have a spreadsheet to keep track of who I already submitted the game to playtest to, so as not to bother them with accidental double submission. I also download the VODs to rewatch later and learn what could be improved in future jams, if you want to know.
I'll do an exeption for you: if you post one more non-constructive thing here I'll remove them all. Learn to behave yourself and grow up, you're unfit to the jamming creative mood.
For this to get a 4.9 style rating, it needs at minimum 27 ratings of 5 stars out of the total of 30 ratings.
Edit: I am not accusing this game of cheating, there are more than 200 games in this jam with very impressive numbers. A lot of games in the past gmtk jams also have seemingly probability-defying values.

Game has potential, I do understand the limited time but the controls and art felt clunky. I hope your happy with the win.
I get people are being rude about it; but having playtesters RATE your game might be a little unfair lol, it's okay.

Goofiest title ever, but silly names for silly games ig lol
Congrats on first place!
your point being?
Then name them my guy
That's only one other game. Even if multiple games had the same Isekai title joke, I have to ask what @de_g0od already asked: what's your point?
People need to chill in the comments, lmao, I love the isekai title and aesthetics of this game! Nice work!
Great job! Fuck (pardon me) all these mean comments, you deserve it!
Hey, just wanted to say congrats on getting #1! ^^

Still don't get the point, do you?
Well deserved! Congratulations on your rating and your fun creative game!
Congratulations to everyone who participated. We're all winners for just making something in a limited timescale. No need to be a sourpuss.

4.9 style, 30 ratings.

So? It looks pretty good.
Fair point, but there are a ton of devs so probably all the devs have friends who played it and, as a kind gesture, rated it crazy high.
Also, about the "stylized games that didn't even get near top 100", that's probably because they lacked in other categories.
And honestly, if you're tryin' to say they cheated, did you not just set your expectations too high and are now envious they won?
Except it's not at all about probabilities, pretending so is just insulting to the dev's talent.
😭I just wanted to talk about math okayyyy
