The game is basically done. It’s a better version of the popular ROBLOX game Last to leave the circle. I’ve advertised it and used about 4K robux with sponsoring. Players join and they play for a good while, but the game requires other people to play with them for it to be fun. How is a game supposed to get popular if a game requires people to play with eachother? Because if players join and see no one, they will leave. Is there a way to somehow “fix” this or something?

- Advertise more and Sponsor.
- Make sure to have something for individuals in the game, so that even if they are not enough to play , they will be able to do something.
I’ve made a solo option where if there is no one to play with, they can play by themselves like a solo mode.
How do games in the first place get popular that require multiple people to be playing together
If you want your game to be popular, either sponsor it or advertise it in youtube/tiktok
Note: Advertising it in roblox using ads isn’t a great way to advertise your game.
show them their IP when they try to click the “leave game” button

Jokes aside, they either get lucky with the algorithm or spend LOTS of money on sponsors to get players into the game, and the more players there are in-game from the sponsors, the more people are likely to join.
How does the algorithm work? I never really see games on the page with under 20 players unless I search for it. Where do the games show up with the algorithm
I’m not going to act like I know how it works, but sometimes it’s just being in the right place at the right time. An example, you sponsor your game, and you get lucky to see a guy come along. He likes your game, and he starts grinding it. Roblox sees a concurrent player and boosts the visibility of the game. Therefore bringing more players.
Yeah, mini-game style games are difficult to start without momentum and they die hard when they die. To keep players in the game, they’ll need to be constantly entertained and engaged. Setting goals for the player to reach, which there are many ways to do, is always a good start. However, mini-games are often played with friends. It’s much harder to keep a solo player engaged in a game like that.
Also, as @InvalidDataStore said, advertising on Roblox isn’t great. You need to spend a lot of R$ to see any relevant results. Even among those results, only a fraction will stay.
