itch.io

With all my love for this platform and all my respect for you as a moderator
Many people, including me, upload games to this platform for different reasons, including participating in game jams, which is exactly what my game is doing. People from the jam physically cannot find the game because it is not listed for them. It will not appear in Random, Popular, or any other category because it is literally invisible...
The game is also impossible to find through search, which means that even promoting it will lead nowhere.
So yes, I am sorry, but this response feels quite lazy. The game was indexed originally, and then its indexing was removed because a few people apparently did not like something about it.. but I do not want to argue with you, but I am strongly asking you to help restore the games indexing to how it was originally, and also to help the people who leave comments here

I am not asking for anything more than the opportunity for other people to see my game. This is important simply because we need to receive feedback from players and understand whether people are interested in the game

I would be extremely grateful to you. As I wrote in my post, there is no negativity on my side, I truly love your platform 
It is just that being de-indexed makes all the work that my team and I have done feel worthless. And the same applies to other developers as well! Moreover, even after the game is restored to the index, which I hope will happen soon, it will unfortunately have lost a fairly large part of the potential audience it could have gained. During its release, it was near the top of most relevant tags, such as roguelike, card game, and so on..

Hello, itch io community!

I have read the Getting Indexed documentation, and Im writing this because my game has suddenly been de-indexed, and the consequences have been devastating.

The game no longer appears in Search or Browse. Its impressions and CTR have completely disappeared from analytics, and it can now only be found through a direct link or by visiting my profile.

Before this happened, the game was actively gaining new players and was at strong point of its growth. After being de-indexed, it received fewer than ten views in twelve hours. This has effectively erased all of its momentum and is reducing the work of our entire team to nothing...

The page was apparently flagged after reports were submitted. I have already responded to those reports, explained why the claims were incorrect, and provided evidence supporting my response! Ticket - 379348

I understand that the team receives an enormous number of requests. However, legitimate developers need a clearer and faster way to resolve false positives. For a small independent game, being removed from discovery is not a minor inconvenience, it can completely stop the games life!

I have published games on itch.io for years and genuinely love this platform. I am not writing this out of hostility, I am writing because I care deeply about the game and the people who worked on it!

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to read and support this!<3

First of all, thank you so much for your comment! And no, this game was made specifically for this game jam. Looking back, though, I can agree that we didn’t implement the theme in the best possible way. It ended up being more “flip to win” than “spin to win”
When we first saw the theme, we were honestly a little disappointed, because nearly every idea we came up with revolved around casino or gambling mechanics. We wanted to create something only loosely connected to that concept instead of making it too direct🤔
Now, after seeing how well other games used that theme, I have to admit that the problem was probably our own lack of creativity rather than the theme itself. But yes, this game was absolutely made specifically for this jam

Wow, haha! After the jam, we definitely need to add a leaderboard so you can claim the well-deserved #1 spot. Thank you so much, we’re really glad you enjoyed the game!:)

Thank you for the kind words. We really hope so too for the full release!

Thank you so much for the feedback and for playing our game!

I think many people may have missed it, but the game has a loot box similar to the one in Vampire Survivors. It can drop rings that help you survive the run, also I know it is not exactly a “spin” and is more of a “flip,” but the cards flipping at the top also add a small element of randomness, although I admit that connection may be a bit of a stretchXD

Either way, thank you very much for your feedback. We really appreciate it!!!

A great concept for the jam theme, and the execution is excellent to. The game clearly deserves attention!

Soon, I will release an update for Chark that I have been working on for 5 months and I hope you will change your mind)

Hey GingeJMD! You left me that big, thoughtful comment a while back thank you. If the game still interests you, it would really help me as the developer if you added CHARK to your Steam wishlist

Hey Shadow! You once left a review saying you loved the game thank you so much for that. We’ve now got a Steam page, and if you’re open to supporting me as the developer, adding CHARK to your wishlist would really help with visibility. This step is super important to me, and your help would mean a lot!

If you’d like to support the game, adding CHARK to your Steam wishlist would help a ton!!!

Good job!<3

thank you so much, we will!

Thank you for the constructive feedback. Your points are fair, we’ll take them on board. Your analysis won’t go to waste, it’s exactly this kind of input that helps indie games get better, thank you.

I’m impressed by what roguelikes can do. I played Depth of Mind, a JRPG-style roguelike about diving into human consciousness. You assemble a strong team to overcome mental illness. Even in its current version, the game has solid replayability. I recommend it!

Good job, man! Love the concept

Yes, absolutely, we’re already working on it. The game has huge potential, the only issue for now is finding a publisher(

Congratulations on your win. I will continue to update the game!

I have a lot of plans for what I want to change first. First of all, I want to fix all the bugs, get rid of the Balatro style, and make the game more unique, and of course add depth to the mechanics. I have some concepts, I don’t want to show them fully, but I think this might give a hint;)

I’ll keep going. Thank you very much, and congratulations on your win!:)
