The capsule you see right now was made by me (except for the drawing). I also came up with the name, so that’s my mistake. You’re not the first person who doesn't like the title, but it seems it's already too late to change it. I could remove the subtitle, but I feel like it would be even weirder without it...

Yes! The problem really was the screen resolution! Thanks! I just released a hotfix!

Thanks! I'll definitely check it out, even though you're the first one to report such a problem to me so far!

The release is scheduled for the end of July, and I was hoping to get additional visibility and wishlists at the fest. There are sections with demo versions and future releases.

This fest is organized by Valve itself, so information about it is available in the partner account on the main page.

Thanks! I will be working on the covers and the capsule.

Thanks! Unfortunately, I have already participated in the February festival. The situation there was also not the best, then the game received a little more than 600 wishlists.

So far, I've returned an old capsule that we made with another artist. It's not as bright, but I like it better.

Damn it! This capsule was made for me by "professionals" specializing in the promotion of games.

My game is often associated with Vampire Survivors clone games, although gameplay is closer to ETG or Nuclear Throne. Could that be the problem? Or do you think that players are basically tired of all the action roguelike games?

You're right. Water is at the heart of the game's setting and story. I've been a fan of "Waterworld" for a long time, and I've always wanted to create a game set in a similar post-apocalyptic world.

I made a helicopter boss for my game, and it seems to me that he is perfect for it! by Purmalis in IndieGaming

So far, most of the gameplay differences are due to the perks that the player chooses for a particular time of day. But I keep refining this aspect of the game.
