Will other games of the Game Jam also have the chance to be frontpaged?

I'm planning to cycle them through in the coming days!

As in on the "featured" screen, because just being front paged knocked my game's rating from 3.40 and 9.0 to 3.03 and 7.4 in a few hours...

But it also creates a more realistic score, because more people will rate it.

REAL REVIEWS:
"needs a mute button" (rated 9)

"'Author's Response:
Mute button importance < gameplay importance.
Also, your computer has one, so what's the point?'
The POINT is for when you are listening to music or something else on the computer i don't want to have to mute everything just to play this stupid game." (rated 0)

"this game sucks
for an example to make a good game in 72 hour go play cows anttena co" (rated 0)

See? Newgrounds is full of 13 year olds who only care about mute buttons!

Hey Tom,how do you judge the games?

I wouldn't take the portal score as an overall indicator on how well the game has fared for the competition.

Yeah... Your right... I didn't get much sleep last night, and the game, like i said, went down from a 3.40 to now a 2.98, and how Tom put it, I'm pretty sure the game jam is based on votes (probably because they couldn't get Edmund again..). Honestly, right now, I believe users should EARN the right to review (get a certain amount of experience or something) because right now it looks on par with the youtube comments section (which sucks).

They said it was going to be an special guest, doesnt need to be the same one, also its stupid to select the winner with the score because never you will get the most original idea or something like that for winner with that. Also i dont think one guest should select the winner, i think would be awesome if three guest vote for example, give an score from 0 to 10 to each game and then the total score definetes the best one.
Taking care about originality of the idea, graphics and programming

Well I fucked mine right in the ass, but at least the cake is cute.
First game jam, massive pain, might do better next time.

I fucking love that image macro.

Thanks for the heads up Tom.

I checked out the current top 3 game jam entries. Personally I liked Butcherbugs most, although it wasn't quite what I expected when I saw their theme. Looks like it's quite far ahead of Meaty Boner by now, so I guess it's gonna win.

Good luck to all the participants.

True , meaty boner's an awesome game :D!! ROCK ON...

You called?

Come on tom, are this reviews serius?

"Ummm... just a quick question. How do you make the game not suck?" from KoalaCaptain
"u might need an extra than 10,000 hours. i see where this is coming from. . .but it was. . . terrible. i totally hit that house! 1" razgreez

how this people can keep reviewing?! its annoying

Tom got my groups game in...I know its late but all the members in my group dropped out one by one. Leaving me to do everything *chuck norries slam*. It sucks because the programmer was using as3 and I only know 2.0. Which meant I had to program from the start...on day 3...on my own *cry*, which is why it came out late.
