Is this Worth Advertising?

Hello, recently I released a this game Ragdolls in Space.

Ragdolls in Space is a Wave Based Roguelike Space Ragdoll Game where you can upgrade your stats, unlock new characters and travel to different planets. You can even replay a mission with modifiers, 4 different difficulties and different game modes like Endless.
Being a solo dev I have spent 4 months working on this and in the couple of weeks its been out, I haven’t gotten much players. I haven’t advertised the game because I don’t have a high budget.
(3K and thats all my revenue all this year.)
Is this worth gambling that robux or is it not worth it?
Some screenshots from the game:


Thanks :smiley:

  1. Make the display for mobile landscape
  2. Make it so you can’t just leave by walking out the elevator, add a leave button
  3. Make the tutorial last page not be able to go forward

you should make it so the wait time after waves is lower as a minute is way too long, even if I walk over without punching to the shop it still takes ages for the next round to start. Maybe you could do this by adding a skip button for the wave intermissions?

Oh yeah mb, alr I played the game. And I’ll tell you two things. The games fun. But if you advertise it rn it might very much fail.

UI

I’m gonna be very honest with you. the ui is really bad.
Here are som tips

  • pick ONE font
  • pick 2 sizes, your normal size and your big header text size
  • Have a proper color theme. If you’re gonna use one shade of green. Use it it every where. Not just a random every random frame
  • And this really comes to on thing, your UI should have a style; when I first started w ui I wasn’t very well at it. When making ui try looking at how others make it and what they do for animations a well

Gameplay

  • over all the game is fun. The ragdoll flinging an punch dashing and moving my character a lil to the side to avoid lasers Is a fun concept but…
  • game should be faster paced, graphics need a genuine upgrade
  • Try making the map be more diverse, it’s just a colored baseplate really w rocks.
  • Make it hilly and be more interactable

There is a lot you did well and right. And being a solo dev is HARD. I’m one right now jus bout to finis my on game. Don’t rush. Take your time and enjoy the process. If you need money open a portfolio on the dev forum. I made like 2k for beyond simple code. And that’s already a big upgrade for your budget. And it as for me too.

I can’t cover everything really but watch game makers tool kit. It’s genuinely amazing. It will help upgrade your game a LOT.

And this video will really help w game feel too

there is a Vote skip. I have no idea how to make it more obvious

Try making it under the title, and one single line. Also nice user

yeah but it just looks like some text that the user will discard and think nothing of, I would recommend making it more obvious that it is a button by having a button shape and also having the text on one line for aesthetics

I updated the Gui a bit and published that
