Stackoverflow has an annual community survey on topics like demographics, tools used, ways of working etc.
I assume such data could be interesting for the people running this platform, to the people using it and researchers who want to understand the way itch.io and the indie game scene works.
I guess the existing surveys are good starting points for creating such a survey, though obviously, there will be also questions that are unique to the interests of itch.io’s community.

That was fun to use!

Some small usability things:

* I had no idea what the tabs on the left-hand side do (select style). Maybe lable them "[nameof] style" instead of "1", "2"… and/or have a style-appropriate icon for each?
* Dunno how hard it is, but it would be great to edit the values directly on the graph rather than having the separate UI on the right
* + - on lists is a bit tricky; the best practice seems to be to have a general +, but have the -/delete on each list entry (since + always add in general to the list, but the - always remove a specific item)

I enjoyed it a lot! I love the expression by screen-shake and, particularly, phone-shake. It made me imagine mom to be very assertive, despite her having no written text. Impressive how well the very minimal interface works within the story!

I expected some sad turn but it subverted this expectation nicely, while still having emotional depth.

Two minor usability problems I had: 
- The language selector caused me minor trouble. I though I need to click the language as a link and thats it, but it is a selection and I need to click the "okay" afterwards
- I needed some time until I understood the zipper, I first thought it is a pen. As these things are, after understanding it, it felt natural as it was.

Thanks for creating! I enjoyed the game and the art collection

Thanks for sharing your experiences! I was surprised that Linux, compared to Mac is very strong. (I think Mac has about 15% Market share in the US and Linux about 2 or 3%)
