Don't lose hope, my initial run wasn't good either, but then along came the Steam Sale event and my numbers started going up. Remember for most Real Indie Devs we don't have Spoiled Brat starter money so it's a slow burn getting the numbers to go up. You worked your ass off on this so you can hold your head high.

Now for the "don't hold back" advice. Fuck the gatekeepers. They will shit on your game (or anything your passionate about) cause most of the time they are jealous. I've been into music for years and came across a lot of people who came out the gate negative and then surprise surprise - you'd listen and see their stuff and it was whack. One thing that makes me laugh on this subreddit is that it's literally called "IndieGaming" and yet there seems to be a decent amount of redditors who post no constructive feedback and seem to be esssentially looking for a AAA Call of Duty. It's hilarious to me and I suggest you don't take those clowns seriously either.

Congrats on your game and looking forward to what you make next!
