Your game has no downloads. It won't appear in searches until it has some.

Not quite. Your game probably appears in searches, but it has a very generic name, so results probably cut off before it's included. Have you seen how many other games are named exactly the same, or almost?

i actually changed my name to a bunch of random letters to test that.

Now I notice that searching for your username, or part of it, doesn't yield any results at all. No idea why that happens, but it might have something to do with your game not appearing either.

All I can do is let an admin know so they can take a look. Sorry.

Hey, I'm unsure on how to make my game searchable. The game is viewed and play by several players but is still unsearchable. It is a web game.

I assume you mean Sign, since Autumn Leaves does appear in searches. That's because it has downloads that have a minimum price, so it has to be seen by an admin first. That should happen in 24 hours from now or so. Maybe longer because the weekend is coming.

Ah, thanks for the explanation.

I was wondering why my game wasn't appearing in the results, or GA saying anyone has visited my page.

I was putting up a page to get it all done, before we decide what kind of a demo/download to put up on Itch.io.

Maybe as a suggestion, it should say something about this in the 'Uploads' section when you are editing your project/game.

Thanks, Rob.
