From the information available, this game could be literally anything. It&#x27;s one thing if no gameplay video is available. It&#x27;s another thing entirely if there&#x27;s no way to figure out even what genre the game is.<p>For all that this tells readers, it could be anything from a tower defense game to an economic simulation.

Thanks for sharing. I too struggle with getting the word out for my games and have experienced similar levels of success.<p>Some unsolicited feedback,<p>1. I watched the trailer and came away with no clue what your game is actually about. Ideally it would tip your hand a bit more<p>2. I didn&#x27;t find the trailer very compelling, either. In fact if anything it made me skeptical that this game was going to be some crazy political message.<p>3. With that being said, I thought I&#x27;d learn more about the game but didn&#x27;t see any easy way to do so from the YouTube page or from your website. Add a link in the description and put the game in the top level navigation for your site.<p>4. The art style seems cool at least.<p>Best of luck, I hope you share more about your experiences as they develop.

I&#x27;ve found something similar with reddit. Posting in a niche subreddit might look like a nonstarter with many posts only receiving a couple upvotes and 0-2 comments, but the actual site visits seem to be a couple hundred times the upvote count (at least for me).<p>It makes sense to me, in that small subs see something like a trickle of content, and subscribers tend to be pretty into the topic to have sought the specific community out. So you could get a much higher % of the subreddit&#x27;s total population visiting your site, even if they don&#x27;t bother to actually upvote it.

Nice post and interesting information.<p>And I love the name of the company and your logo. I think the video doesn&#x27;t quite hit the nail on the head. (The art kind of reminds me of Interstate 76, which I love -- assuming that&#x27;s the goal, you&#x27;re not quite there.)

I wish more people would share these kind of results for comparison.

How can you not like a game called Sharkpunch?
