In GROUP HUG, you will be put onto silly teams based on a "get to know you" quiz.

CONDIMENT TEAMS

wasabi, mustard, guacamole, or honey?

FONT TEAMS

roboto, helvetica, times, or comic sans?

FABRIC TEAMS

corduroy, denim, silk, or fuzzy?

EXOTIC PET TEAMS

fish, lizard, bird, or bug?

Your teams will earn points when you DO NICE THINGS—like reviewing games in the Brackeys Jam! After you leave comments on some games, come back to claim your points. The nicest teams and players will win their names in the GROUP HUG Hall of Fame! 

Reviewing games will encourage other people to REVIEW YOURS. That's what we all want, right?

This is a big social experiment. Hahaha. It may not work at all. Thank you for checking it out. Just reading this (long) description means you're a nice person!

You're NOT alone.

Seriously, doing game jams can feel SCARY AND LONELY, especially during the rating period. We all want our games to do well, but we also want to encourage others, make connections, and LEARN.

The best way to do all of those is to play and rate as many games as we can. The problem with large jams like Brackeys is there are JUST TOO MANY GAMES to get to. Maybe adding some silly teams will help us stay motivated, and form LOVELY, SURPRISING FRIENDSHIPS.

Even if you didn't participate in the Jam, you can still get in on the GROUP HUG. Your comments are as valuable as anyone's.

Let's make this Jam THE MOST RATED JAM EVER!

How this works

Right. So itch.io is amazing. When you comment on stuff, it gets posted publicly. That means anyone (including this game) can verify when players make comments on other games. Bingo. By telling the game your itch.io username, you will EARN POINTS when you post stuff. 

NOTE: The game can't tell when you've rated a game, because as far as I know that info is not public. But honestly I prefer comments to just ratings. COMMENTS ARE LOVED BY EVERYONE. (hint, hint)
