itch.io

It should be because the graphics card requirements are relatively high. I use 4060Ti. I think 1050 and above should be able to run smoothly. Wait for a while, I will optimize it!

Outside environment is my attempt after seeing the trailers of the last night, REPLACED, and Final Run. The graphics of these three games are really amazing. You can search by name to check them out!

Also, thanks for your playthrough and videos!

If you enjoy this game or have any thoughts, please leave a comment. I will carefully consider these suggestions! Cheers!

indexed status could shows on dashboard, if not indexed, ITCH must reply to the developer with the reason.

Thanks! 

I recently published my first game on itch.io, which took me nearly six months to develop. The game has undergone a significant amount of user testing, and I am confident in its quality. However, after five days, I noticed that my game has still not been indexed, which has been quite disheartening. During this period, I thoroughly reviewed all available documentation, including itch.io's help files and pinned posts in this section. I also reached out to the support team via email but have yet to receive a response.

While researching this issue, I found numerous posts from other developers asking about the indexing status of their games. A few isolated cases might be understandable, but the sheer volume of such inquiries is concerning. The waiting times reported range from a few days to several months. If the review process truly takes months, the lack of transparency regarding progress is incredibly frustrating for developers. This suggests that the issue is not with the developers but rather with itch.io's user experience for creators.

My suggestions are as follows:

1. Display Review Progress After Submission: Simply showing the review process after published would give developers hope and something to look forward to. This would greatly help in maintaining the enthusiasm of new developers.

2. Implement a Two-Step Review Process: The initial step could involve a basic review to ensure the game meets minimum standards, after which it could be temporarily featured on a dedicated "Newly Published Games" section of the homepage. A more thorough review could then follow.

While I am not familiar with the internal workings of itch.io, I hope you will consider the perspective of a new user and take these suggestions into account.

Try it!

Hello There!

After playing the absolutely mind-blowing SUPERHOT, I became utterly obsessed with the idea of a game where time moves only when you do. So, I thought, "Why not make my own game with bullet time, but with a twist?" And thus, I embarked on a journey of playing similar cooool games (like My Friend Pedro by DeadToast and Karlson 2D by Dani) while attempting to create a side-scroller shooter. After countless days of coding, debugging, and probably too much caffeine, I finally birthed *Chronizer V0.2.0* (v0.1.0 was basically a glorified beta test with my friends).

Chronizer is a side-scroller shooter with simple controls, pixel art style, and some seriously flashy effects (at least I think they're flashy). You can check it out here:

Here are some in-game screenshots and GIFs:

Currently, Chronizer boasts a whopping 4 levels. Since this is my first rodeo in game development, updates might come very slow. But hey, I’d love for you to give it a whirl, share your thoughts, and stick around for what’s coming next. Your feedback might just be the caffeine boost I need to keep going!

Cheers!
