Search ad for my game not doing well

I made a game and advertized it yesterday using search ads. Many players end up ragequitting because the game is kinda hard at first. I lowered the difficulty so I’ll have to wait for results.

Another problem besides that is that many players had a hard time completing the tutorial, which shouldn’t be that hard. Maybe the audience I get is too young because of the keywords I used? The keyword were “speed run” and “parkour”.

Should I go for sponsored experience instead? Since I can target specific age groups at least.

EDIT:

I tried sponsored ad (targetted only console), this gave awful results but at least only 0.06 credits were spent, this might add up later in the evening. While I spent a minimal amount of credits (so only 2-3 people joined at once), the average playtime for the last 2 days was only 4.3 min. I’d be thankful if anyone played the game and gave feedback on what I should change for my next ad to improve playtime. Thanks!

I don’t have experience using the ads manager yet, but it sounds like sponsored would be far better. The targeting age range, and just your audience in general, is probably important.

Thanks for the reply, I’ll continue to try out different sponsors.
