How do i increase player retention?

Hello! so i just released my first game yesterday, its a pretty simple game. i spent 10k on sponsor and it managed to get a few players. but i think the player retention is bad, because most players just play for a few minutes then left. which makes the playerbase doesnt increase. i dont have any idea on why this happen, I REALLY NEED HELP!

Well if you need to wait before being able to move on because you are too slow then people would probably rather play something else that is more enjoyable to them. What you could do is make it so you can get through the game without waiting for various periods of time to pass by is by making the time take less or make some of the objects closer. If the player starts at a low speed then that is probably another reason. You should also add replayability in your game so they stay in the game longer and grab more players attention.

Hmmm, so i’ll need to make the speed increase higher on starting islands. Thanks! That’s a really good idea.

I don’t really understand the replayability part tho, i mean collecting pets and race events every few minutes is part of replayability right?

Well i didn’t actually play the game as i have no access to Roblox right now. Collecting pets and different events could be considered replayability but the main point of replayability is you can keep doing it without getting bored of it for a long period of time. So if the race events and collecting pets cause boredom easily then no it would not be considered replayability.
