  • Hello.

    Like many here, I finished my first games, bought a developer account on Playstore, published my first game... And I found the cruel reality: My game does not appear in searches.

    It was clear to me that being a novice developer with a simple game, not paying money for advertising... it was obvious that searches were not going to put my game in the first places, that was expected.

    But I did assume that my game would show up in searches after 100 other games about it. That if someone swiped down the screen long enough they could find it.

    I informed myself about ASO and although I am not an expert, I did the corresponding work with keywords, etc. But even searching verbatim for the full name of the game does not appear. How am I supposed to get downloads if no one can find my game?

    This really discouraged me a lot. I was going to quit and abandon the other games I had half finished. After a few days the game starts having some downloads. Not much, 1 or 2 a day, sometimes nothing, sometimes 5... and so on.

    It's not much, but it's something. The question I ask myself is the following:

    How did I achieve those downloads? If the game doesn't appear in the searches I do, does Google randomly show some games like mine in the searches?

    Does anyone know how this works?

  • Are you sure you released it in your own country? :D I would give it some time though.
