Why won't my game download?

Question

Android

Actually the game
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=haki...
I got tired, wrote, posted it. It would seem that everything is fine, it remains to sit and watch the download schedule. But it wasn’t there ..
Tell me, please, what’s wrong? Why is it not up to a full-fledged application? So to say, evaluate from the outside, because I myself can not objectively do this.
I did not give advertising anywhere, I posted it in several VK groups, I left my friends.
I will accept all criticism. Thanks

Answer 1

Not special, like just a user:
1. Terrible pink screenshots
2. No description, similar to Google translate
3. Almost no keywords
4. Disgusting icon, with a bunch of artifacts ("jackalous")
Well, you didn't advertise, how can you find out what is the game out?

Answer 2

So so. I'm not going to write banal nonsense here like that the icon is lousy
or there it has a pink background, I will state my thoughts more extensively and effectively ...
I will say this ... You know what your action is like now ??? It is like a kid from the 3rd grade jumped into the 10th grade... And I will explain... To create games, programs, websites, you need to be an ENTREPRENEUR first and not a programmer (as you are)...
You need only have knowledge, entrepreneurial spirit... If you take all the way from creating a project and getting money in your pocket, then the share of the programmer's work is 1/10 of the total work...
I'll explain in detail... Ideally, at least the project should be worked on...
Programmer, Designer, HCI Engineer, Solutions Engineer, Marketer, Psychologist, etc... You can list depending on the project, is it a game or a program...
So, well, of course, you don’t have the finances to organize everything this... But, what's stopping you from becoming each of them (partially)??? This question. He is the main and the only one.
And what are you doing ..... Oooooh ..... He got exhausted, wrote and posted ... He also had hopes, to watch the growth of the download schedule ... .... Don't even dream !!! You don't have the same level of competence ... And programming has nothing to do with it ... I'll give you advice.
Give up programming for a certain time, read LITERATURE, PROGRAMMING PHILOSOPHY ... Read the stories of successful projects, what they went through, what problems they faced, (by the way, this is very important because when you have problems you can easily break down, and when you are well-read and you know a lot of things, you already accept the problem not as a problem, but as an obstacle that needs to be overcome.) By the way, there is a very good book, it’s really old and some points are not relevant, but it’s good for general literacy.
(Shareware. professional development and promotion of programs) link
After reading such books, all questions will disappear by themselves.
At this stage, you are trying to CREATE something, but first CREATE YOURSELF, be well-read comprehensively, study all the areas that I gave in the example above ... Marketing, psychology ... It is
better to read 5-10 books than to ask 5-10 thousand questions.
Arm yourself first, then act...

Answer 3

Let's face it: This is a prototype with mechanics.

Answer 4

Do you consider yourself smart and resourceful?
Ever tried to catch a green circle?
Not? Then this game is for you!

"Smart and quick-witted, huh? Then pass by!" - the message of your text.
I can’t comment on the rest of the points, because I don’t belong to the audience of such games.

Answer 5

First of all, marketing. Marketing. And again marketing. Here in my application (link below) the design is also low, I am not a designer myself. But I spend several hours a day to distribute the application. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rock...
Wrote dozens of emails just today with a request to publish the application on their website, two have already responded positively. I found a site that, under certain conditions, gives a database with 120 resources where one could promote the application. Before that, I wrote on all forums and sites that were mentioned at least once somewhere in articles on Habré about promotion. First of all, I made a post on w3bsit3-dns.com. For a week - 290 downloads in total and 187 active. Few, yes, but without promotion, I would not have scored hundreds either.
Think about it.
PS: He was tormented. It's not that hard to do. But look for forums, understand their rules (especially when English-language forums are also required, since I have a game in two languages), create posts, while constantly changing BB codes (somewhere they are written in capital letters, somewhere in lowercase letters ), get confused in all these sites ... This is really what I was tormented by. :)

Answer 6

The first thing that is thrown to the user in the application list is an icon. To be honest, it is miserable, find a designer, maybe you have designer friends, ask them to draw a normal icon. As they say above, the design of the game scares away, again, ask the designer to work out the interface and style of the game. Games should be pleasing to the eye.

Answer 7

Pure advice - 90% of users are afraid of your color in the application.
You should have a designer and work out usability, style, design ...
Really, completely outsider, when he looks at a screenshot, he gets scared and leaves.
Here is the result. Even if it's an interesting game, I don't want to play it if the colors are like that.
It's just psychology! Well, we're just people! Do what people need so that a homo sapiens person will accept your design with his soul and want to play .... Here is the original reason ..,

Answer 8

You can’t leave without advertising on one organic site, especially in an oversaturated mobile market. Read about advertising and working with the press, you can start with the videos at the links below.

Answer 9

That's exactly what I wanted to hear. Honestly, something just started to move in me and I have so much joy .. I don’t pay attention to the little things
. What can you say about the idea itself, I wonder?
