Nope, no following. I posted on Release Announcement and the post got picked up by leafo - I guess I lucked out!

Itch.io guidelines advise to give that all important announcement post some love. Back then I made a point of showcasing the game by having a cool looking GIF - something with a bang, must have been catchy enough!

I wrote a few devblogs on my website that cover the journey of Holey Suit on both itch.io and Gamejolt from a marketing perspective, if you fancy a longer read!

Mhm, this is really a good example for a catchy gif.

Itch sent me an email with some instructions how to best announce my game. Following these instructions can give you a good kick start. It seems you did a good job. In my case, tweeting my announcement to @itchio and them picking it up, helped a lot .

I also used a gif for showcasing the game, although not as cool as yours.
