Thank you for checking and for your reply! I appreciate your help, and I’m glad the game is indexed now. Your support means a lot - not just to me, but to the whole developer community.
Thanks again!
Hi itch.io support and community,
I’m looking for clarification and help regarding the visibility of my game “Space dice”.
The project was published, fully public, and initially received good traffic — it even appeared on the top row of the featured jam entries for a while. I filled out all metadata, added a cover, screenshots, description, and the game received active engagement and plays. However, after I made some edits to the page (game description, screenshots, tweaks to layout), my project suddenly stopped appearing in search and browse results. From what I can tell, it seems to be in manual review, because it’s now completely unsearchable by title, and views dropped sharply since then.
I’ve double-checked all my project settings and reread the official documentation regarding indexing and best practices. I’m certain all requirements are met. I already contacted itch.io support (about two weeks ago) and haven’t received a response so far. I’m worried that my entry is missing a critical jam exposure window.
Could you please clarify:
Is there anything I’ve missed that could be delaying indexing?
Is my project or account flagged for some reason?
How long does manual review typically take, and is there anything I can do to help speed up the process?
Is it normal for a previously indexed project to become invisible after edits?
I appreciate any advice or experiences from other developers who faced something similar. Thank you for your time!
So, I enter the level without understanding why I’m doing it. I run over enemies, trying to stay alive and grab the money. And I die over and over.
Still, I get some enjoyment from it. Keep going!
