Also, itch.db shows you where your game is in terms of tags, visibility score, and total games (Not my website)

This is your main game (Image at Bottom):

2.7 stars lowers your game visibility. Itch.io is extremely leaned towards 5 stars.
- I would help you with a rate, but your rating is off. Turn this toggle on:

You have no helpful tags
- 8 of your tags have you so far down, they are not helpful
- html5 is not a suggested tag
- You can still use 1 tag
- You change the tags to raise the rankings, not change the game.
Visibility score is 29
- This is OK
  - Most of the time, my game had a 26 Visibility
  - Got it up to 51 suddenly 2 days ago
Good job reaching top 2k games!

Actually, the reason my rating is low is that I initially shared the game in the wrong Reddit communities. Before the game had even been indexed, I suddenly received three 1-star ratings, which made for a disastrous start.

I’ve reorganized the tags and re-enabled the rating option.

By the way, thank you so much for your help—the information you provided has been truly useful to me.
