Thank you! I have two other games and this has never happened! I was still a newbie then. I took my time making this one. I hope people enjoy it : )

Well, I'm glad this one is gaining lots of interest for you! It looks like a cool game!

I have my first game called "Enso" in the Steam Next Fest right now, so fingers crossed I'll be able to gain a little traction too! Do you have any tips on how to promote your game without feeling like a scumbag? I hate the "salesman" type feeling I get from talking about my game online ๐Ÿ˜…

Congrats on that! To just get a game demo to Next Fest is huge! I don't know how to not feel like salesman, but just try to be sincere and share your success with players. Despite all the rage-bait and negativity on the internet, people genualny like positive stories. That's what I try to do at least :)

Thank you! That's actually really good advice, if you share positivity then you're more likely to attract positive people! Makes perfect sense ๐Ÿ™‚
