My game is receiving a lot of dislikes, with a like/dislike ratio of 60%. I’m uncertain about the reasons behind this. While some players might be kids, I believe there could be other issues at play.
To address this, I’ve implemented a system to encourage players who enjoy the game to give positive feedback. Whenever feedback contains positive words like “good,” “love,” or “cool,” a GUI prompt appears asking them to like the game.
what feedback have you received so far?
Do you have a tutorial?
Also the thumbnails need work.
Also track how long people play for and in what stage they leave, like being a beginner
the feedbacks are just like add stupid things or just hate/ love comments and em then the words that children should not know about. i have like 2 tutorials. and players are leaving like 180s after the plane crash
I have actually played your game before, and I must say. You need to nerf most of the wood you need to get. Also when you get the rescue helicopter nothing happens, you just get picked up by a helicopter and taken to some house up in the plains. This will be mostly the issue caused. The game being hard, but you should also give an objective to the players so they understand it more.
By objective I mean a text that appears on the screen with the objective, first time I was confused what was I supposted to do until I got the gun and shot the bears.
The issue is probably the very much bugs. Played the game, and wasn’t even able to board the plane. Once I clicked the feedback button once and closed it, I couldn’t see any prompt anymore.
Usually low like/dislike ratios are mostly caused by bugs, and lack of polish.
I played your game, I found a lot of bugs and little to no polish.
Here’s a few tips that could instantly improve your game:
Set fog to 150-175: Being able to see everything ruins the immersion.
Simplify your gui: It’s fine but I saw like 20 different styles in like 10 minutes, if you dont really know how to make good UI like me, make simple black frames with like 0.3 transparency, and use icons from flaticon.com or some other copyright free place.
Animals: The animals in your game need a lot of polishing, if you don’t know how to animate or make a decent pathfinding, I’ll suggest hiring somebody to make the models and script them, shouldn’t cost you more than 100k.
Bugs: I found many bugs, make sure to at least fix the main ones that literally disrupt the gameplay.
I don’t know how to make this but if you want, and you don’t have this, then here’s an idea for your game: Add an invite friends reward, so the players can invite their friends to play, and they get a reward in return such as coins, wins, kills, etc.
