I added the tags that Ratsnake Games mentioned.'m trying to and will keep tryin to promote the game in other ways.
As for what redonihunter said, that streamer played the old version of the game on their own accord. So yeah I suppose I should try to ask some youtubers to play the game on their channel. So it sounds like I should just not mention the educational stuff in the advertisement. I think thats one of the things you're trying to say. Maybe thats true.
For screen shots I might see if I can add something more, are you saying I can add animated gifs for screenshots?
As for what MatchaMyu said, my game makin tool cant make an in browser play window unfortunately. I suppose my YOutube following counts as an online community but they mostly subscribe for the educational content I make and clearly alot are not gamers so thats unfortunate. I did just promote it on a Discord, I'll try some other Discords communities as well.
When I first put this game out on a small website in 2014, it got some hundreds of downloads with no promotion, I thought that Itch being much bigger would get it more attention but it got much less. I did get some fulfillment developing my game for over a decade but I feel lost now. I started 2 other projects but its not the same. I feel terrible because I don't know what to do with my life anymore.
