Why don't players come back to Heli-Wars?

Players do not come back to play my game after playing it once. My game is a fix of an older game with a few added features trails, mobile support, settings, sorting inventory, and progression.

I thought adding trails would be a way for players to keep coming back without adding pay to win features (except for vip, that was in the original game), but I’m yet to see any player join for a second time.

I was wondering what your guys’ opinion was. Would you play this game?

My game: Heli-Wars - Roblox

This style isn’t really as popular it’s more of just trying it out for other players

Pistol model is broken too so yeah kind of buggy

Usually players won’t come back if they don’t think that there will be anyone on, if the game has bugs, if the game looks like a game made with no effort and in like 2 minutes, if there isn’t enough to do, or all of this combined. This is also usually why players don’t play very long.

That’s part of the original game. If there’s anything weird that’s cause the game is from 2008. Heli-Wars: Desert Attack - Roblox

The main problems with your game is the age, content, bugs and that your game doesn’t have a game loop.

A game loop is content that has a beginning, middle and end. Your game is continuous meaning the match continues until the server shuts down.

There is not much content in the game leaving few things for the players to explore. For example, there is only one map and there’s not many things to explore in the map.

Your game is buggy. The vehicle mechanics are hard to control and one of the tools are broken.

Your game uses old graphics. All popular games today uses the newest graphics because people prefer that.

Hope this helps!

Honestly, I feel it’s cash grabbing on a dead vintage game, people quit playing those style games a long while ago. It’s also morally questionable to be earning Robux off of someone else’s creation…

So, add TDM features like first team with 50 kills to win, modernize the map, and add another map?

I tried to stay as close to the original as possible, but I may end up making a separate game and adding all the listed features.

And also, could you tell me what bugs you found, and which tool was broken?

I don’t have access to my PC atm but I think the pistol tool was broken. The vehicles are hard to control but that does not mean they are buggy. I think it is a great idea to make a new game with TDM, new maps, etc!
