As mentioned in this and later posts. Original Link(s) have been removed. Sorry.

in order to properly give you free advice, in order just to see your early release (Beta ?) version ?
OP has/is amending this policy.

Analogy:
We sometimes help fellow EEVblog members, when they need help with their circuits/Schematics.

But if it cost at least ...deleted..., just to download the Schematic. I don't think they would get much help.
The video (about your game) is free, but seems to be very short and not give much away about the game.
Striked out, see OP's post, below:

tl;dr
Although it is fair enough if you want to charge money for your game, later/now. If you want people to look at it, and give their impressions of it (Beta testers, evaluators, reviewers, testers, professionals, etc). You may want to review your pricing arrangements, as regards such people, such as EEVblog members. Until the game is finally finished/released.

EDIT:
Another (maybe better still option), would be to also release a completely free, DEMO, probably cut-down/restricted version. Which would give both us and possible future customers (nothing to do with EEVblog), a way of seeing what it is like, and being able to evaluate it. The demo version could probably be updated, at a considerable slower rate than the main/full version product. To minimize the extra work required in maintaining two versions.

EDIT2:
Edited after polite request(s), from OP.

Hey MK14,

you are right... when I first posted, I didn't intend to sell the game here, I was asking for some feedback. I am sorry if I got excited about how easy it is to put and sell my game on itch.io and thereby might came across as a bad sales pitch. I will delete the link from my previous post... feel free to delete it from your quote.

I will try to put up a free demo tomorrow and send a new link! Sorry again!

(My previous post has been amended as requested).

That sounds like a good idea.
Without information/reviews/star-ratings/votes etc. It is difficult for people to buy it later, anyway. But a free demo should enable this information to be produced, and hence boost your $ sales, later.

Yes, a free demo, which some of us can mess with, should give you more accurate results and more potentially useful feedback.

Just finished it.

What a wonderful game!

I always wanted to learn how CPUs are designed. Now I know...
