Quick Diagnosis

Check if any of these apply to your situation:

  • Your game has consistent CCU but never appears in Popular or Recommended
  • D1 retention is decent but not exceptional
  • You have no coordinated marketing pushes
  • Growth velocity is flat rather than spiking

Why Stable Games Get Stuck

Stable-but-not-growing games fall into a dead zone. The algorithm has seen them, classified them, and decided they're not exceptional enough to feature. Breaking out of this dead zone requires one of two things: a sustained retention lift (hard but permanent) or a growth spike big enough to reclassify the game.

Most front-page breakouts come from growth spikes, not retention lifts.

How to Fix It

Fix #1: Fix 1: Engineer a Growth Spike

Coordinate every marketing channel (influencers, TikTok, ads, Discord) to fire in the same 72-hour window. Growth velocity, not volume, is what breaks the front page.

Fix #2: Fix 2: Ship a Marquee Update

A major update gives you a reason to spike traffic and gives players a reason to return. Pair with the marketing push above.

Fix #3: Fix 3: Push Retention Above Genre Average

If your D1 retention is 20% and the genre average is 25%, you're quietly below average. Push D1 to 30%+ and the algorithm will reward you.

Possible but rare. Most front-page breakouts involve at least some paid amplification.
