Venting I published my first itch.io game. But I can't get any feedback

There's a lot of complex stuff here under the hood.
Okay, maybe not a lot. Just 3.

I posted it on reddit, and asked for feedback. This is meant to be a portfolio piece.

Some bloke downvoted it, said itch.io has quarantined, and that he can't download it. Then said, if I'm a programmer, I need to share the source code... yikes...

Also, DM me if there are any game devs here.

This is the best I could do so far:





I haven't figured out a way to get past that score (without cheating).


The game looks nice overall.
CPU utilization is in the normal range.
There are a few times it gets bugged and goes to 100% cpu usage and the game starts to freeze.

When I saw the background image, I thought it would be a part of the game, but it's not.

These games have rules which dictate where you can move or not.

The background image is nice, but it's just that.





It's pretty much similar to Space Invaders, but a different environment setting.


If you could work and figure out a way to make the background a part of the game, it could turn out to be a decent game.
You'd need to figure out that yourself though. It would be a bit like inventing a new game.

The green objects could also be best replaced by something else that blends into the game more.

It's generated using Wave Function collapse. Incorporating it into the game isn't that hard.

Trust me, they blend in thematically.
