I will share more about marketing since I have been learning it for a while: - you definitely need a trailer - which needs to be majority just gameplay, gameplay should start ideally immediately or otherwise within first 5 sec of trailer - you also need GIFs - on itch anywhere you can put an image, you can put a gif
even your profile picture can actually be a gif (mine is lol)
- you can also work on making your itch page look better - but i'm not sure how much effect this has, you should probably focus on bringing people to your page first
- find different communities to post in - not just indie or gamers communities - but also communities specific for your game's niche. like top down shooter, neon games, etc - I recommend doing this search for individual games rather than just once and assuming all your projects will fit in it
- you can also post in communities of fellow developers - for example if you used unity to make this game, you can post it in unity server
- for communities I prefer looking through reddit and discord - I find a lot of subreddits and discord servers when I start looking - facebook groups is also an option but there may be more posters than post viewers there
- if you want to improve your itch page - Good work on it btw, it looks great!:
- you can get creative with the banner placement - you can use transparency to make the banner look like part of the page
- you can use GIF as your banner but you will need to check how high quality it could be - using screenshots section for GIFs is better
- speaking of that, definitely make little snippets of your game as GIFs and post them in screenshots - at least as a viewer, this makes world of difference
- you can also make use of background, this one page I saw added a glitch effect GIF as background to make it look like the page has a glitch effect, pretty cool!
- a browser embed game is a lot more accessible, even if not full game, adding even a demo as browser embed can help
I was trying to post this on the youtube video but its not letting me comment for some reaso
This was awesome! Really kind of you to take the time to make this video. Thank you :D
Nice game, I would just make some more enemies which spawns when you reach certain timestamps in order to keep the game play interesting for longer periods.
Good feedback. Thank you. I will add it to my todo list straight away for the next update!
The music rules, as does the moment-to-moment gameplay. The dash took a bit of getting used to, but once it all clicked, it really clicked.
It's not something could play for a long period of time, but if I want something quick like Ubermosh or TTV2,
this would be a suitable alternative.
Well done.
Hola amigo tienes algún vídeo para ver el juego en acción 😁 muchas gracias 😊
The glow effect is rather intense, it makes the game feel blurry
The download is only for PC. Is the macOS version ready?
Hey. The macOS version should be working but I haven't tested it
