Hello,

I’m facing a major issue with my game Baldi's Basics Prototype 0.0.1 (baldiburnaut). Right after a recent update, the project completely disappeared from all search results and tag browse pages on Itch.io.

Game URL: https://onlytrash.itch.io/baldiburnaut

The game is set to Public, fully complies with all platform guidelines, has genuine downloads for Windows/Android, and doesn't use any misleading tags or AI content. We have an active player community that is currently unable to find the game or leave feedback, which is heavily hurting the project.

It looks like the automated spam filter flagged the page by mistake during the file update. Could a moderator or admin please take a quick look and manually restore the indexing?

Thank you so much for your time and help!

Hi there,

I think my 2024 account (OnlyTrash) has a persistent bug or an automated spam flag attached to it. Back when I released my previous Baldi fan-game, it didn't index automatically either, and I had to create a forum topic just to get it manually reviewed and approved.

Now, the exact same thing is happening: my new jam game "YOU ARE" and a recent test page are completely hidden from search and global tags. Strangely, when I tried uploading a game on a fresh new account, it indexed instantly. The page is public, has a safe HTML5 WebGL build, and is fully set up. Could a moderator please look into my profile, check for any hidden flags, and completely clear my account status so that my future games can be indexed automatically without needing a forum post every time?

Thank you!

Sorry, the description language was accidentally changed. Thanks for letting me know, otherwise I wouldn't have noticed!

It's already written on the game page, I can make it more visible if there's something wrong.

Hello, I recently decided to participate in a game jam and make a simple runner game featuring nothing but smiley from a 20-year-old virus. The game is simple, but it features room generation, meaning each run is unique, leaderboards for competitions, and simple puzzles that require you to find a path to progress or a key for a lock. If you're interested, you can play it here: https://onlytrash.itch.io/you-are.

Yes, that's right

You need to press the E key, not the F key

An interesting game, nice graphics, simple but addictive gameplay, good sounds. Overall, not a bad job. I hope the game gets more updates in the future!

It looks interesting, but I hope the game will be improved in the future, as it doesn't look very interesting right now. For example, it lacks some kind of character upgrades that can be purchased with points. Good luck with future development!

It's a really cool and interesting idea. It's simple, but very engaging. Really well executed!

A simple platformer that might get you hooked for a bit. But the graphics aren't great. Overall, it's a decent result for a beginner.

The idea is interesting, but the implementation is not very good, the gameplay is too long for me, especially in terms of the fact that you have to wait a very long time for more enemies to appear.

Hello, itch.io team!

I'm contacting you because my game still hasn't been indexed. It was published 8months ago, but it still doesn't appear in search results or category lists. I've read /docs/creators/getting-indexed and I believe my project meets all indexing requirements and should be indexed. My game also already has some small statistics in the form of 8k views only on Itch.io Could you please check its status?
