Why might my game not be played?

Hello fellow people.
I come in contact with you for advice.

Ok so I made a fnaf game & a tycoon game

I published them, and they have 0 plays, ever.

And yes, i read a bit, i need to wait. But ive been waiting 4 months for the tycoon & OVER A YEAR FOR FNAF

Can someone explain?

do not take this the wrong way.
but either the game is unappealing, or the game doesn’t sound fun.
Ways to fix:
Change the name (if it’s weird)
major update
get a thumbnail, if you don’t already have one

uhh i got the names in my profile

and i already have thumbnails


and i’m not saying low player counts, I’m saying that quite literally no one has ever played them

forgive me for advertisement

maybe if you want get new ones (i’m not saying they are bad)
:person_shrugging:

your fogiven.
YLGU0, has a good point, advertising on the Wix might get you more plays


maybe remove the large “Made by: Zappy_Zaptos” because it’s taking up a lot of the thumbnail, and the player would be able to tell if they read the “by” part underneath the thumbnail and game name

Well, you might need some friends to play your map, because maps show based on play count. (I think) They also might show on the “Grab Bag”, but it’s random.

You can put your map link in your bio so people can play it, or post the link on WIX.

If your game hasn’t been played for this long, you may have words or phrases that block the game entirely from being on the publish list.

You can either re-publish the map with an updated description, or you can email Gimkit to request it to get it listed (if it’s even possible). Make sure to give them your publish link if you do so!

This only applies to the trending section.

well actually, sometimes if u publish on the weekends, ppl are publishing their map sooooo quickly that ur map only shows for like a minute or so. publish it on the weekdays or on a weird time, and at least 10 people will play
