Why my game fails & how to get my game popular?

Well, I made a simple donation game, but unlike other donation games, mine makes people donate more to the poor ones using high exchange rate. I thought this concept was a nice theme, but no one actually play my game.

I also tried reaching the audience via Roblox Discord Servers by telling them to join my name, even bringing my alt account, but still no good performances so far.

I also though of using Roblox Ads, but it’s costly, and I read some posts saying “It’s better to just use Social Media(such as Twitter, Tiktok cuz they’re free) than Roblox Ads”. So I uploaded a video to my Tiktok account, mentioning “This game gives more R$ if you’re poor!”

I’m really curious about why my game crashes but other similar games, which are also newly created, skyrocket. I’ll leave their links in the below.

If it helps, here’s the link to my game : Pls Poor
& these are the “OTHER GAMES” that I mentioned that skyrocket :

  1. Sample 1(THIS GAME’S THUMBNAIL IS EVEN IN KOREAN)
  2. Sample 2
  3. Sample 3(This got over 170K+ visits in just 21 DAYS, although this is the fake version of donation game. I saw many ads of this on Roblox btw)

p.s. I’m not trying to get any views from this post. I’m just REALLY in need of your help. Thank you for reading this long post, and your help would be greatly appreciated.

I would recommend reaching out to Content Creators that have a medium - large following that could help get your game out there. Hope your game succeeds, I will make sure to try it out!

You can also make games to follow on trending topics such horror and you might of heared about Skibidi Toilet from younger viewers on youtube, which will easily get your game searched by a player thats intrested in that :smiley:

Add a bunch of tags like “SKIBI GRIMACE BLOXFRUITS” Things like that.

Yeah something like that :smile:, but you must remeber trends don’t last very long that means your game might have a shorter life span take 2020 for example games like “Don’t Press The Button” is long dead…

Thanks! That really helped me.
I’ll try that and perhaps tell you about the process.

Here is your answer. If it’s a simple donation game it means there is not much different compared to other donation games. How about making a complex donation game instead?

Got any lists of small to medium content creators?

Not really, but if you go to my main group Wammable Studios then go to the content creator rank then you can message any of the people in that rank, most of them have hundreds of subs, some thousands.

There’s too much information on the screen and the quality of the ui is not the best, which makes players uncomfortable. A bigger issue is that you need more metrics (visits, retention) for the game to be picked up by the algorithm.

Donation games are greatly oversatured and have little to no variety right now so that’s probably why.
