Alright uh, I was hopeful it was going to get fixed quickly, but the game's been un-indexed on itch for days now, since a few hours after release. Was sitting at #1 new & popular in its genre tags and #11 on the entire site at the time of removal. Don't know how to feel about the project right now.

I changed the project status from "in development" to "released" since I realized I forgot to do it following playtesting, and poof, gone. Missing from discovery pages, can't search for it any more. I feel very burned by the platform. Some docs said to give it an hour, some said a day.

I wrote to support the next day but after looking at some stories of the same thing happening to others, I'm worried it could be a long time. The natural traffic the game got (and continued to get) does not seem to have given it any priority so far. It's so demotivating to see the momentum disappear

I've gotten a lot of really positive feedback about the game, people have been sending me their creations, people keep themselves entertained for hours...it has the juice, you know? I know how I'd continue this, and I feel like I kind of have to. But it'd be so nice to have the momentum of players.
