There are lots of games on Itch by now. If you look in popular tags like 2D or Multiplayer, it's likely your game simply appears very far down in results. And searching for "snow ash land" will return every game whose title or tagline contains either of the three words. That's a lot of games again. As the results cut off after a point, your game simply doesn't make it.
I recommend doing some promotion for your game, in venues like blogs, forums or social media. Good luck!
Thank you for your answers ,the problem is that it's not logical ,by marking the title all attached "snowashland" Nothing appears in the search ,not the slightest game ,not mine or others ,if I select ,the right category ,one by one ,the list ends up being empty ,but still not my game ,I think there's really a problem with your search engine ,and promoting my game on your forums or will change anything.
That's odd. If I search for "snowashland", without spaces, I get exactly two results: your profile, and your game. Couldn't say what's different. And promoting your game outside of Itch.io would allow people to find it through other means than our own search engine. That can only help, even if you showed up higher in results here.
so actually it's weird ,a few hours ago only my profile appeared without space
promoting a game is hard, I've been doing it for months, and it's the goal of your sites, in my opinion, to offer visibility on the games, but since I'm obviously not the only one to have his game that doesn't even appear in the right category,I personally think there is a problem ,it would be better to display all the games by category ,and even if we find it with more than 500 pages ,it would seem more logical to me than to leave games in the limbo of oblivion
We try to make games visible, but how many games are we supposed to fit on the front page, out of the 130K we have now? When you click on a tag, you can scroll or page through all the games in it, even if there are many thousands. But how does that help you find the best of them? We offer all kinds of mechanisms. You can select several tags at once. You can look for games similar to those you like. You can even find collections to browse in the search results. Either way, some will rise to the top and some will sink to the bottom. It can't be helped. Sooner or later, you can only get better visibility by also being visible from outside of Itch.
A lot of people want to play indie games. Many people even prefer them nowadays. But people are also busy, and they may not find your game exactly when they go looking for something new. Use devlogs, those help a lot. And use social media! Don't restrict your promotion work to Itch. Get a site of your own. Get a blog. Comment on other blogs. Post in other forums.
