We currently do not disclose any specific display limitations on a page for the security of our platform, aside from a description of our process outlined here: https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed. As we are a self-publishing platform with no pre-requisites for publishing, it’s unfortunately easy for malicious users to exploit the system.

Your page is entirely operational without being indexed in our search and browse pages. We strongly advise you to continue managing and promoting your page as usual. Getting more organic activity on your pages can also expedite any review process.

We recommend that all developers promote their pages across as many channels as they can access. If your entire marketing strategy relies solely on generating traffic through the browse and search pages, you are essentially relying on chance, as you’re competing for limited space among thousands of other creations. Any algorithms we employ prioritize pages that show genuine activity from all sources.

Hope that helps
