Just released a complete demo version of our new game: https://greytgames.itch.io/the-line-demo

The demo is basically the full game, except without global leaderboards and multiplayer mode. But we can still compete! Let us know what your high score is?!

(Global leaderboards and local one-vs-one mode will be available for a pittance on Steam later on...)

Here is an easy score to beat for starters:

Great play-through of the first world! Excellent editing of the video as well. Thanks for sharing!

This game has 508 levels. All of them have names, except one that was accidentally left with a placeholder name "=495". Find the level and post a reply to this comment, and we'll let you choose a name for the level!

Already did! No idea what happened. Approved again now.

The game became indexed today: https://itch.io/search?q=pushle

Hooray...

Patience seems required for new developers, and we did not get any reply to our message to support yet. (So we do not know if there were any special reasons for why this process took several weeks.

We seem to have the same problem with our game not being indexed, even after 3+ weeks. Also no reply on our request for support, but that was sent only just before the weekend. Please post a follow-up if you do get any response (or a clarification on why the delay happens).

There is a help page that says to contact support it indexing takes more than 24 hours. More than three weeks now, so a message has been sent to support. Hopefully we will learn something from that.

Thanks for your reply, No Time To Play!

What does one do to make sure one is indexed? E.g., https://itch.io/docs/creators/getting-indexed#publishing-vs-indexing/getting-ind... does not provide any information that is useful (we seem to follow all the baseline requirements).

In other words, what leads one of our pages to be indexed but not the other?

We have two versions of our game in two different pages. 

One is the demo version (https://greytgames.itch.io/demo-pushle) and one is the full version (https://greytgames.itch.io/pushle). When searching for the game name "Pushle", only the demo version shows (and nothing else). Why does not the full version also show up?

Furthermore, we recently joined a bundle called "Mixed Puzzle Pack" (https://itch.io/b/1583/mixed-puzzle-pack), and again an exact search does not return this as a result.

We have found some information on what can make something not show up in search, but none of it seems to apply.

Any ideas? Why cannot the search function be more transparent?

Demo version (browser or download): https://greytgames.itch.io/demo-pushle

Full version: https://greytgames.itch.io/pushle

This is a puzzle-game in the style of Puzznic, where you match equally colored blocks to make them disappear. The full version has more than 241 playable levels: some easy and some really hard. Demo version can be played in a browser (using mouse to navigate menus, and WASD or arrow keys, as well as space to play the levels. Thanks for reading our post :-)
