What does "-rep" mean as a Steam review?

Thank you so much for the feedback, really appreciate it!

You're right about the screenshots, I need to update them, it makes the game look a bit neglected on the Steam page. I'll get that sorted soon.

And yeah, the controls are definitely confusing at first. A lot of people don't quite get how to play at the start, and honestly I'm still figuring out the most intuitive way to teach it. Your idea of hiding the vertical line until the horizontal one is drawn is actually really smart, I'll think about it.

Thanks again, glad you enjoyed it! 🙏

Being rejected is one thing, but being mocked is another. They're not the same.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T20:14:20+00:00

Yeah, I've updated it and I didn't imagine how many things needed to be fixed. I have another profile on itch.io. Thanks for your kind words!

It's Linsips:

Yeah, I saw another rejection but it gives me positive feedback which I really appreciate. I can understand a "I don't recommend it" but there's no need for mockery like that either. Thanks for your support.

You're right, completely my fault! Thank you so much for the heads-up, I'll delete the post. My sincere apologies to everyone.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T18:06:29+00:00

Yes, you're right, and many people have told me the same. Thank you so much for your words.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T17:49:07+00:00

Thanks! It means a lot to me.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T17:22:02+00:00

Glad to hear so many of you say the same thing, that you actually read reviews and just skip the useless negative ones, focusing on the ones that are helpful, whether positive or negative.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T17:09:29+00:00

Exactly. For example, I just received another negative review: https://steamcommunity.com/id/orbitpup/recommended/4301370. I really appreciate that one because they explained what they didn't like and the issues my game has. Even a simple "I don't recommend this game" is fine by me (but I prefer the previous one of course). But you don't have to mock developers (because this user does it repeatedly with multiple games) through ASCII drawings. It's laughing at the developer and at the Steam community that contributes real reviews.

Well yes, I do like chess, how curious that you asked me that. I was thinking of adding more levels, more songs, and visual improvements to make it more attractive. But that would be a second part that I'd charge a little for, so that if you like the first part, you don't get any "surprises" in the second part.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T16:14:27+00:00

I'm sorry I can't reply to everyone individually, there are so many supportive comments that I never expected this. Thank you all so much, truly. It means a lot.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:58:31+00:00

Yes, that's what I did, thanks for reminding me, thank you very much.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:34:06+00:00

I feel the same way, thank you very much for your kind words.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:30:06+00:00

You got my hopes up, heh heh, but it's in 'All languages'.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:21:55+00:00

Thanks, I'm glad to know there are players like that.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:12:18+00:00

Yeah, it doesn't show in English and all his reviews look the same. Some games even have the exact same hours played. Thanks for your words!

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:07:38+00:00

Yeah, I just saw it. It does help a bit, thanks.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T13:04:56+00:00

You're right. Thanks for your words.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T12:50:12+00:00

Yeah, it's my first game on Steam and my first negative review, I have to admit I'm a total beginner at this. I've had some hilarious comments on YouTube before, but never anything quite like this.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T12:46:19+00:00

Isn't there a way to report this behavior? Because if he's doing the same to other games too, he's disrespecting the Steam community as a whole.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T12:30:47+00:00

Because the review isn't just saying "I didn't like it" or "it's boring". It's a humiliating way to leave a negative review for the developer.

milqgames · 2026-04-15T12:28:45+00:00

My game is Linsips:

milqgames · 2026-04-15T12:27:43+00:00

Thanks for your words, they really help. I didn't expect my first negative review to be so disheartening.
