Hello, I have been making a game for approximately 4 months, the game is called Trap Battling, I want some feedback on how to improve my engagement + retention:
Engagement:
I have seen many new players join my game and leave after 1-7 minutes
Is there a way to fix this issue?
The first problem i see is the thumbnail not making me curious about what the game is about, same with the icon, it may be the reason people arent clicking your game that frequently.
Then when i join the game, i see a lobby that looks like it was ripped straight from Slap Battles, all the game’s design looks like it was directly ripped from Slap Battles.
Then i see poorly made settings GUI, that needs to be worked on ngl.
When i joined the game i was confused, i didnt really know what to do, i would recommend making a tutorial.
The map that we get teleported to has a questionable design. It feels very 2018 and it didnt really catch my eyes.
The game overall feels empty, the description doesnt really look good neither. The amount of people that worked on this game is crazy considering the fact that i am a solo developer. The game feels like an unfinished rushed project made by a single in-experienced individual.
There are a ton, and i mean a TON of things to update and fix to make the game engaging enough to hit the front page, start with the design and make it less resemble slap battles.
I give this game a rating of 3/10, i played it for 5 minutes and then got bored and left, this game doesnt really have much to offer.
But the main reason behind people not playing is the game’s idea not being engaging enough to attract players and keep up the retention, and it being super unoriginal. Like why would people play your game when they can just play slap battles which is literally the same game but has so many much more to offer.
So the main problem is the lack of originality? If it is i’ll try to make it less of a rip off of Slap Battles.
4 months to make this game is crazy bro i can make something like this in a week, all the traps feel the same. Overall it’s just a boring game not worth playing for more than a minute
I am a new scripter, that’s why it took 4 months.
