My game suddenly got traction again, way after the initial algo boost

So I published the game like few months ago, and sponsored and it gained a boost from the algorithm and hit a peak of 6k ccu, then, I had an avg playing users around 200-400, but then suddenly after 3rd-4th Oct it started climbing and it js crossed 2k ccu again today.

Does anyone know what caused this? or its just a work of algorithm, cuz as far as I am aware, the algorithm boosts games based on monetization and 7-day retention mainlym both of which were average for my game, and remained stagnant, but still it started gaining traction.

The game is Fling to Climb incase you wanted to know (free adveritisng lol)

The Roblox gods blessed you and put you into the algorithm.

Roblox probably randomly grabbed your game and started recommending it to people. Ik guessing you had some good stats and the algorithm liked those stats.

But hey man why are you complaining?

I am very glad its gaining traction again, I was just curious as to why.
But I think yeah maybe there is a system that randomly selects a game and boosts it for a little while, perhaps thats whats happoening right now.

It’s just algorithmic. No need to question “why” you got traction. Be happy that you did and move on to improving your game in a way that won’t make it crash again.
