my game has been release for about 7 days now, not sure how icht.io works but how will i know its getting good visibility or like good reach or people are seeing it when searching 

I released my game 53 days ago and it still doesn’t show up even when I search for it; I don’t know what to do :d

I don’t know how to answer the question in the title, but for knowing about interest— Creator Dashboard > Analytics shows where your page visitors came from (when referral tracking is allowed) and that area shows if any have played, downloaded, or added your game to a collection.

Make sure your game has a good description and good tags. Tags are important for discovering new games.

Make sure your game's thumbnail looks good, so people who see it while browsing tags actually click on it. Higher click-through rate = more visibility. Your current thumbnail looks AI-generated, which will turn many people off.

Find relevant communities online and promote your game there (with permission from moderators - nobody likes a spammer). Promote on socials.

Besides that, be patient and manage your expectations. Most jam games get relatively low view counts because, let's be honest, there's a lot of them, many are kind of mid due to the time constraints, and most of them just do not stand out in any way.

What’s your game called? What tags have you added to it?

You can just click on OP's username and check their game library yourself

Choose the right tags. Add a description and a few screenshots to your game page.
