So it's been 25 days since I released Endurance 500, and there are a few things that I wanted to point out.
- The game has had 1,480 views and has rolled in around $0.68
- It has had no comments on Newgrounds, and on Kongregate it is still "Under Judgment"
- At the last minute I made two versions of the game: A viral and a site-locked version with more feature. This led to at least 400 more views on the blog, meaning a conversion rate of 27%. Not bad. (Note: I don't know how many of those were unique hits, so that conversion rate is likely a lot lower)
For a game made in a day, these stats aren't too bad. But they definitely show that I have much to learn about Flash games. But I am curious as to why there were no comments on Newgrounds. Usually I garner around 3 or 4 a game, but this time there wasn't a single one. My opinion is that the community will never comment on a game unless it's bad or it's good. My game was so average that they didn't know what to think! That's what I believe, at least.
I'm already hammering out the levels for the next game. I'll keep you posted when it is close to finished.
