Hi! I'm an indie game developer, I'd like to know: how many downloads need at least a game to become popular?

Thank you in advance for your answer

If you mean getting on the front page in "popular" or "new and popular", that's not about downloads. It's a complex algorithm designed to help more games bob up in listings over time, and to resist cheating attempts. Focus on making a good gamepage and promoting it instead,

I mean on the "Popular" page

How can I improve the page of this game? https://unitechgamesentertainment.itch.io/alienrun

I'm not sure. Looks fine to me.

Thanks! So my game can be featured?

Any game can be featured in principle, if our admins find it worth showcasing.

How my game can be viewed from the admins?

Our admins look at release announcements and new/popular games. You can also ping the official @itchio account on Twitter if you're there.

Ok
