Crypt Dungeon Crawler not in search after a day, question about link-out pages

I've read the Getting Indexed guide and the pinned search and indexing FAQ, and I still have a question.

My project: https://cogg-games.itch.io/crypt-dungeon-crawler

It's been about a day and it doesn't appear in search, even by full title. I believe it should be eligible: it's Public, not in Draft, not set to "Unlisted in search & browse" or "Disable new downloads & purchases," and it has a cover, a full description, tags, and a genre.

The thing I want to be upfront about: the game runs on my own website, so this is a link-out page with no uploaded files (it needs a login and backend that won't work in an itch embed). My question is whether a link-out page with no files can be indexed at all. If yes, could a moderator review it? If no, I'd appreciate knowing directly so I stop waiting. Thank you.

Pleas read the the indexing guide. Your page has no files on it so it’s not eligible for indexing: /docs/creators/getting-indexed

ok fixed, can u pls confirm I did not make any mistakes?
I read the guide but im a noob
i plan to put more games here so hopefully I got it right :)

My page has a zip file on it now, so why is it still not being indexed?

thanks

Looks indexed from what I can see /search?q=Crypt+Dungeon+Crawler

when i type in just "crypt" or "dungeon crawler" it does not show up.   

Thanks for the quick reply.

…Did you see the part where it says not to ask until it’s been at least one day, preferably several?

Edit: note that a day ago was in the middle of the weekend, which delays things even more.

Thanks, and sorry for jumping the gun, I'll let it sit for several days as you suggest. One question separate from timing, whenever you have a moment: is a link-out page with no uploaded files eligible to be indexed at all? If that type of page can't be, I'd rather know now and stop waiting.

Appreciate the help either way.
