As a final project for CS50 course, I have made 2D Pixel-Art adventure platformer.
Our Hero got to strange world through the portal. To find way back home, he must survive, fight and jump from world to world through the portals. In these worlds he can find useful items, same as dangerous. Be careful grabbing everything and find way home.
It is free to download. Enjoy! https://heathro.itch.io/lost
I think your game looks neat, but you’re not really promoting it on the store page. Ignore me if I’m overbearing, but I would take the description you wrote up here and make it the description over there. While you’re editing that project, you should also look into the stuff under the “Metadata” tab. (If you ask me, that stuff is hidden too well.)
A few more things I’ve noticed:
While “Adventure” is one of the most poorly defined genres in gaming history, Lost looks more like a “Platformer” than an “Adventure” to me (me, who hasn’t played it). You don’t have to change your description - but if I’m right about that, you should look into changing that tag.
Also, like I said before: Your game looks good! Hence you should consider adding more screenshots. I don’t know how many stages it has, so saying “One per stage, please.” seems a bit risky, but 4 to 5 screenshot of different sections of the game should give the reader a nice spread to tell whether they would enjoy this game or not.
And if you don’t list anything under “Platforms” (Windows/Linux/MacOS/stuff…) it won’t show up in the search if users filter for their specific platform of choice.
Speaking of the search: If you can come up with a (very) short summary for the field “Short description or tagline”, that text will be visible in the search as well. I can’t promise that it will help, but it seems unlikely that it would hurt.
After looking around in the settings for a bit I have to admit: I don’t know. And I’m unable to figure it out with the dummy project I’m using for research purposes… My guess would be that the option opens up after uploading an actual file, so it might be near the “Upload files” button.
Sorry I couldn’t help with that one. Questions & Support will most likely have an answer.
