I'm a game developer, one of the developers at a small studio in Korea. We make cheap mobile tycoon games, the main one has you running an internet cafe, basically a cyber cafe sim

For weeks we were cutting short videos for one of the games and posting them. 4,263 views in total
Installs from those videos: 1

Then we checked where new players actually came from. 282 new players, and 129 of them just typed something into the Play Store search and found it there
Nobody told them about it. They were looking for a game like that and it showed up

So all the time went into videos and the thing bringing almost half the players was the store page we barely touched. We had it the wrong way round

Now I'm curious about here because I've never been. When you last installed a new game on your phone, what made you download that particular one?

2,395 reward ads were loaded and waiting over 28 days. Only 109 played, 4.5%
I'm the developer, small mobile studio in Korea, and the game is a tower climbing one called Wakppu Tower. You climb, you fall, you vex, you climb again
I was ready to blame the ad company
Then I checked where in the game a player could actually watch one. One spot. Unlocking a new map, and only once per map. Even if you wanted an ad for something, there was nowhere to press
So now if you fall 4 or more floors, a button shows for 8 seconds: watch an ad, go back to the highest floor you reached before the fall. It only appears when an ad is ready and you can ignore it
Na my own fault all along
For Naija players on mobile data, do you skip these watch-ad-for-reward buttons on purpose, or you dey press am anyway
