Like, I know the stuff's borderline incomprehensible, but at least say that its reacting to input, somebody! 

Also, can I remark on the horrible fact that annoyingly begging for feedback is the most viable strategy, if you didn't catch it with thumbnail and description. Whtsup with that? Incredibly deflating. LD have this rating must play system in place.. Is Itch even attempting to equalize attention share btw games at all? Not good, no, no.

Hey, I've left a comment on your game. 

I understand that its frustrating to wait for feedback/ratings but you have to consider that  there are 548 submissions in this jam. I've tried out about 25~30 games in the past 2-3 days and it may take me the whole month to play through every game at this rate. Sure there are atleast that many people here but they're probably busy with updating their games and only review a handful of them everyday. Try checking back in a week or so.

In the mean time, try to make your game page attractive. Add screenshots, gifs, videos etc. Also, post your game's link in the posts that ask for reviewing someone's game in return for playing yours. Your game is definitely interesting so I'm sure it'll get views.

Oh, thanks for the feedback! I posted screenshots at launch (didn't it work?) and am reluctantly discovering how nobody shares my appreciation for geometric shapes :(, tho I agree therere better examples of the style. Its not that I accuse players, I do not Really wanna share my stuff, its more about the system. Look, >550 game devs are participating, if each of them were given one unique game (better 5) to thoroughly review, we all would get our feedback in the first hour! Although it kinda gives that depressing real launch experience..idk. Solution can be to organize something of the sort in community section next time.

Ah, yeah.

That does sound like a good way to get some feedback. Then again, its not guaranteed that whoever is assigned
will leave a meaningful review if you force it on them. You may also need to categorize it based on the platforms that are available to players and then the platforms the games have been exported to. It may get a bit messy if that was
attempted in the community section.

Edit: I mean you can edit the theme of your game's page.
