I'm curious how GameSalad users made out during the PewDiePie Game Jam.

We did really well. With the weighted average we only hit #191, but during the course of the jam our GameJolt rating had us in the #1 spot on their website in "Top Rated Games" for 2 days, and in the top 30 for the majority of the jam!

There are a couple of bugs still but everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the game.
Great art style
Nice job guys!

Actually, based on the findings I had @DeadlySeriousMedia should have been in the top 10. If it wasn't for Game Jolt's asinine "weighted rating" (whatever the f that is), they would have been on a Pewdiepie video. They got screwed over as far as I am concerned. Them and this other game "Miscarriage" (many others too). Anyone have any idea how a game with 700 votes with a 4.7 average rating, would get a 2.8 "weighted rating"?
I'm still fuming over the bull$**t of that contest.
@DeadlySeriousMedia You are still a winner in my book. Not a lot of good that does you though. Oh yea, btw they out right admitted to me that their system that was removing votes... could very well remove legitimate votes. Even in bulk. Go figure. They also told me that the half my votes that their system removed, even if they were all 5s, wouldn't have made much of any difference in the "weighted". This only gave me further questions about the legitimacy of their "weighted" scoring.
@DeadlySeriousMedia
Superb game... Especially when taken in the context of it being created during the time restrictions of a game jam. Love the art style and love the McPixel style instant death every time you try something out. There's some good humour in there.
Fix the known bugs, then get the game up on the app stores. It would be a travesty if the game didn't meet with some success, and an Apple feature slot.
Again... Great little game, with a great art style. Your team should be proud of their efforts.
Thanks for the support everyone! We fixed a couple bugs and got a feature today! http://gamejolt.com/
