Why aren't I getting noticed?

Your games are lost in the ocean of 900K titles on Itch. There's a chance that every members and posters are making games. I have looked at some of the games you made, Brickbreaker seems to be the one which call me the most because of it's more polished presentation image,  I think there is a certain level of quality that people are expecting when they are going to buy a game, try to to raise your graphics, you will then float above the rest.

136$ and 284 payment is better than 0. Don't gets your hopes down and keep going.

I am just starting and I love it, the challenge and the thrill. I will definitely post more outside of itch.io so that I get exposure and I have been getting quite some traction during my first week here

wdym hardly get notice. I have develop game since 2017, but never reach that much view(means 100 views mean so much to me)..also, congrats. I need notice from audience, can I have shoutout or boost hehe

I totally relate to the struggle of putting so much into a game and still feeling invisible. The indie space is incredibly crowded, and visibility doesn’t happen by accident. What helped me was focusing more on community building and consistent outreach. I also found Phonexa useful for tracking user engagement across platforms—it’s not just about clicks, but lasting interest.

I have two accounts, both have free to play games. My primary account is nearly 3 months old and is full of free to play games and games for jams. My other recently made account is for NSFW and got at least 300% more views/downloads from the first game in the first night than 3 months of all my other games and content in the primary channel combined.

I am not monetizing the NSFW account but if you are still interested in making money, getting views, downloads followers then SEX sells itself with pretty much zero advertising.

Sadly the game industry is over saturated. A lot of itch io games that become really popular are usually found through a big content creator picking up the game and playing it.
