Ratings are a feature in Happy Wheels. The rating system works as a way to tell users what people have thought about the level or replay. To rate a level, pause the game or win the level, and click on the amount of stars you'd give that level. You must be logged in to rate levels. The rating system has been abused in the past, and most levels would nearly always tell you to 'Rate 5', however, because of the Level Rules, a level can be deleted by a moderator if it tells you to rate 5 or rate any other valid number for any particular reason. The ratings are as they follow:
For information about Replays themselves, see Replays.
A replay drop down box, with rating information in the middle of it.
The replay box.
You can also rate replays by clicking the "view replays" button after clicking on a level, and after you have viewed the replay, you may rate it. The ratings are as they follow:
Skill (Blue stars)
0 stars: embarrassing
Highlighting "0 stars"
1 star: pitiful
2 stars: poor
3 stars: skilled
4 stars: impressive
5 stars: internet master
Humor (Yellow stars)
0 stars: deeply saddening
What happens when you tell someone to rate any number in the editor.
1 star: not funny
2 stars: eh
3 stars: ha
4 stars: haha
5 stars: hahaha
Pain (Red stars)
0 stars: unharmed
1 star: bumps and bruises
2 stars: minor injuries
3 stars: ouch
4 stars: quite painful
5 stars: oh god no
If you try to rate a level twice in less than 24 hours, you'll get this message.
Trivia
Same as rating a level in less than 24 hours. You'll receive this message if you rate the same replay in less than 24 hours.
There is currently a glitch where, for example, there will be two ratings of 5 stars on a level that says it only has 1 play. Jason has talked about this on Twitter. It happens when the number of plays is read correctly, but not displayed correctly to the player.
The 'zero star' rating is actually hidden, and it can be found by going slightly to the left of the one-star rating.
You can only rate the same level and replay once a day. If you rate a level in one account, and then switch accounts, you still cannot rate the level. This is only if you stay on the same computer, or use the same IP address.
You will not be able to rate a replay if it is inaccurate.
Rating "NaN.00"
You cannot rate levels in the demo version, only in the full version.
When a moderator rates a level, it will count for 15 votes. They can also rate a level/replay as many times as they like. However, this can glitch.
Due to a bug, the ratings on a level or replay may reset after it has been rated.
Glitches
The replay ratings after logging out
Sometimes, even if you are not a moderator, you are able to rate a level or replay more than once in less than 24 hours.
Currently, due to a bug, ratings on a level or replay might "reset" after one has been rated.
If you log out of your Total Jerkface account in a different window or tab with game still runnning and attempt to rate a level, the message will say "You voted! The new rating is NaN.00." If you attempt to rate a replay after logging out, the "new" ratings will each say "NaN.00" in the message.
