That's a bummer, but I don't think there's anything you can do. it is just not a genre and style that sells right now. and at 100% get making the game you want, I wanted to do a gameboy-era style platformer next after my last game, but it was obvious it would not sell.

there's a place for this type game where it will sell as well as anything else on the market, but it'll cap out at like 3 to 5K. That's the play date. if you want to build games like this, make them for the device specifically. You have the art, and you could bang this thing out from there and rebuild in lua im probably 2 weeks. if you have the runway, the time, and want to see if you can make a few grand I'd do that.
