This is really long so in short:
Can I please get some feedback about this game: 🌵 Ancient Peaks - Roblox
Especially how to improve retention and first time user experience
I made one post a week ago, but a lot has changed and I think the first weeks are critical for a game, so I’m back…
I know retention and onboarding is looks bad on roblox in general, because most players are kids. But in my case, it says 1 in 5 people leave before even equipping a tool. I will add screenshots of analytics at the bottom. This is how it looks when someone joins for the first time:
Now I just CAN’T believe that 16% of players fail at this stage. The entire screen dimmed except for one flashing hotbar spot.
Then there’s a big line showing player a nearest tree/bush, usually like 20 studs away. Breaking takes 3 clicks. Another 20% of all people fail to click their screen 3 times.
After this a skip button shows up, so the problem can’t be that it’s a lengthy boring tutorial.
Explaining the entire tutorial would be unnecessary, so you can join and check it.
Those are the analytics:
General onboarding funnel:
Tutorial funnel, it shows specifically… the tutorial progress. It’s more detailed:
What could be the reason for those stats, or is it maybe normal for roblox that people leave so fast? I’ve seen RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES as someone joined, equipped a rock and left.
And while I’m talking about analytics, the session time improved (even doubled), but it’s still below 50th percentile benchmark. This also doesn’t seem good? :
And the last thing, the retention seems bad:
I see it’s super long so if you’ve read it all thanks A LOT
