Feedback on my Steam page? Kerbal Space Program Hi all! I'm working on Kerbal Space Program and would love honest feedback on the Steam page before I push more traffic to it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/220200/ I ran it through a page checker and it scored 76/100 (Strong). The weakest parts were links & community (30), capsule visibility (63), short description (70), so I'd especially like your take on: 1. Is there anything you'd want to check (Discord, devlog, socials) before wishlisting? 2. Can you read the title on the capsule at the small size (search results / wishlist)? What genre do you think it is from the capsule alone? 3. After reading only the short description, can you tell what you'd actually do in the game? Full breakdown if you're curious: https://www.steampagechecker.com/report/kerbal-space-program Thanks, and happy to return the favour on your page!
Check each community's rules first; many have a weekly feedback thread or require a gameplay video.
