Game not gaining popularity

Hello there. I made a game called Pls AFK on roblox and I have made a post on this game before and many of you gave feedback. Howevery I havent seen any proper visits on my game yet. I have tried postin shorts and tiktoks on it and they get 2k views but no one plays the games. Hope you could help!

Link to my game : 🎃Pls AFK! [RELEASE PETS!]🎃 - Roblox

Thank you very much and have a nice day!

hello, not trying to be rude but the theme of your game doesn’t make sense first of all the objective of the game is to get afk? this doesn’t make sense, secondly when I enter the game I don’t understand anything about what is happening I see explosions happening and huge humanoids dancing after exploring the map I realized that there were stalls imitating pls donate in short the game has little gameplay and when we enter the game it is a lot happening and the afk time it is for what? to compete with others? I think you need to make some modifications to your game to be more playable

Hello there you can use the time to get pets and go to different areas and buy trails. Please do look around the game before saying it doesn’t make sense. Also I understand you mean by it’s a bit overwhelming I il se what i can do.

oh i did found the eggs but then i opened the shop GUI and how can i close it? did i need to re-enter on the game?

I don’t understand
I don’t get how the more afk you are, the more pets you may obtain, or how it works since I’m unsure of the purpose of playing this game. You could, at the very least, make it more entertaining for people by giving them more options.

what is there not to understand its litterally a simulator gameplay loop. The more afk you are the better pets you get?

New Roblox Search Algorithm might be the reason.

Thanks for an actually reasonable answer to my question. Do you know how the new one works as in what goes popular?

The short and fast reply to this whole thing is: Sponsors and Ads/Community, If you are not known in the development community, don’t have a community with lot of people, don’t have robux for sponsors or ads, it’s not really going to go up even if it’s the best game ever, you will always need something to boost the game: Sponsors, Ads or a Community.
That doesn’t mean the game will always be dead, but there’s a really low chance to get popularity without using any of those things I said earlier, Keep the work up!

Thanks! Now you say it my game probably has a low chance of succeeding. I will try get YouTubers but none of them reply back. Thanks for your help though.

Not sure if any of the youtubers will get interested, because there’s no gameplay to make content from.

Sponsorship? Advertisements? Maybe that, but you would need a lot of robux into it.

I mean it has more content than pls donate I mean YouTubers play that so I don’t get what you guys mean there is no content

youtubers play pls donate because they earn money from it + give money to other people which gets them views and fans easily.

Your game, which revolves around AFKing and plays like a simulator from what I’ve read would has no good content for youtubers to use for videos, so chances are that the youtubers would most likely say no, or try it out and you’ll never see a video on it.

Plus, the whole idea of AFKing has already been done by multiple people, and it doesn’t matter how much stuff you add or change, as long as its similar to one game, why would anyone play yours instead of the one they already play?

Also, roblox is oversaturated with the whole “pls [BLANK]” games.

Right first of all you haven’t played my game so you don’t know that you can donate to people for starters and second of all I’m pretty sure there isn’t many games to do with afking for points or whatever. And that doesn’t help with my question I asked.

You certainly have an attitude, which does not and will not help you see the flaws in your game design. Can’t even tell if you’re being serious, because there are thousands of games that give points for afk “or whatever”. Like you said it yourself, it’s the core loop of simulators. Except other simulators attempt to make it fun.

And this does answer your question, because a lot about gaining popularity on Roblox is related to having a game with good metrics (retention and playtime). You can’t put memes and popular game names in the description and expect to rank high in search. Everybody is doing that.

That bathroom game has afking for points, theres all the “stay alive and flex your time” games, and I guess you could count games that have time based rewards, PSX and any other simulator like it can count too since all you really do on that is click 1 time every 15 seconds.

Essentially, you’ve made a game like the generic roblox “simulator” and removed the very, very little gameplay there is. No one will play your game because of that, theres simply nothing to do (from what I read from both you and others)

It’s sorted based on revenue highest to lowest

Do you have a source for that?

it’s not roblox have some more metrics to put the games in front pages and recommend to other players like the playtime each player put in the game if the players come 1 week after the first time entered the game if the game can convert players to premium members and obviously if the game can generate and convert players to money.
