Is it so hard that no one has beaten the game yet?
Or is the game so boring that they just take the key and disappear?
We worked really hard on it.
It can be challenging at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's a lot of level design and fun!!!
Play now!!
What do you think of this?

I'm guessing you're the dev for that game and are confused about the winners of the giveaways you made here not playing your game. If that's the case, that's just how things work, while playing one's wins is generally considered a good thing it isn't mandatory, also it's only been a few days.
And it seems like the game released less than two weeks ago, is it considered rare for no players to beat a game in that period of time? How many players are we talking about anyway? If you take a look at Steam's achievements you'll see a bunch of popular games where only around 20% or less of those who played managed to finish it, I thought it was rather common for casual players to not finish games.

About the question in your new giveaway, you need to wait for the winners of your previous giveaways to mark them as received for the system to give you more slots, I believe it's set that way to stop newcomers from accidentally spamming giveaways because they don't understand how they work or similar mistakes.

Ah, and you can ask support to change your role from member to developer if you wanna get instant access to mass giveaways.

This reminded me of a post on Reddit I saw yesterday.

Yeah, it's a lot more common than one would think. Quite a few times I've gotten one of those shiny achievements (the ones with less than 10%) and it's just a mandatory story-related achievement that you get late in the game.
I was just playing Doom 64 today and got an achievement with 13.2% for beating a boss... an unavoidable boss that isn't even the final one.

Cool! I’ve always wanted to get into Doom. One day. (: Have fun playing the rest of the game!

It's actually the first time I play any Doom (I'm not counting Doom 2 RPG because that one is a dungeon crawler, not an FPS) and I realized that I've been missing in a quite fun series. I was too young when the original Doom came out and found the monsters scary back then so I never played it, and then I just forgot to check again for the next three decades.

That’s awesome that you rediscovered the franchise. I played a little bit of Doom the other day, thanks to ZungBang’s puzzle thread. It’s still surprisingly fun! The folks at id Software got something right.

Most of people on sg actually doesn't play games, specially ones they get for free, so I am afraid you are at wrong place to seek reviews. Have you tried some steam groups focused on platformers?

focused on platformers

The game looks more like an auto-runner than a platformer, TBH.

Something else to note is that lots of people have massive backlogs of unplayed games. When I first got here, I was prioritizing only the games in my Steam library from oldest-to-newest, but even though I only enter for games I want to play, it'd still take me a year or two between winning a game and playing it due to how many games I'd gotten in the meantime.

Also, some less-than-scrupulous users enter for everything and just idle them for cards with no intention of playing them at all. There are Steam groups where playing the games you win is a rule, so you can always do a group-only Steamgifts giveaway for those groups.

Yeah an everlasting circle, you get games, and go like oh i am going to play them, then you get new ones (especially in the golden age of bundles) they end up in the back of your backlog, want to try the new games you just got and you keep getting new ones, and so on.

It depends on how many people have your game and how many have played it (you can check those numbers) to base if it's difficult or not, but there are 50000 games on steam, it became very hard for indie developers to stand out these days.
