Web-playable games most popular!
After you’ve played my game, you can ponder this lovely stats table:
jam 48ers web,flash,
html windows linux unity android osx,
os/x jam 1044 0 680 531 249 37 27 197 48ers 1495 1005 746 348 81 22 257 web flash html 1685 580 364 113 23 291 windows 1277 534 59 21 439 linux 597 63 8 382 unity 118 0 37 android 49 7 osx os/x 454
How to read it: the columns and rows are labelled by the terms I searched for. The numbers in bold for each column show the total entries, and its also split out by jam and 48-hour comp. The other numbers show the intersection of two groups, e.g. there were 8 entries that provided by Linux and Android links.
In my own game, which was a kind of meta-game, I originally meant you to be able to filter people by target. Sadly time run out and the feature was cut 😉
The most-commented-on games are also Web games.
Ergo, LD31, focus on a web game!
Interestingly, there were 1685 “web” entries, and 5 Unity entries did not mention a “web” target…

That’s super interesting. We chose to do a mobile only entry and I was very surprised how many ratings (around 40) and downloads (around 100) that we got. I expected to really have to “sell it” to get to twenty.

No wonder why web games were the most popular: excluding Unity web games, they are only ones that can be run on any desktop OS.
