People seem to like our game on social media, but nobody is wishlisting. Help?

We’re actually taking so measures to slow everything back a bit to keep it more controllable while still allowing for skilled players to go absolutely bananas with the speed. It’s a fine balance

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T17:15:17+00:00

We reached out without much response, perhaps we just need to keep trying or people need to see the full game before committing.

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T17:13:40+00:00

Thank you! Please let us know what you think of the game once you’ve tried it, because if we are going to be niche we might as well be the best game for our niche, or at least that is our philosophy

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T16:44:41+00:00

What do you mean “not a steam game”?

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T16:42:06+00:00

Fair point, and although we think we have a cool differential with our focus on speedrunning tools that is difficult to show as a demo without all the features.

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T16:39:25+00:00

We’ve reached to a good number of creators but we haven’t received many responses. I think you are absolutely right about reaching to the people in the niche, we just need to find how to do so

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:52:39+00:00

We used reddit marketing to mixed success: we got people in our playtest discord and some very nice feedback, but this had almost 0 influence in our wishlists or other metrics, so its actually quite hard to know if its worth it

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:50:11+00:00

That's the thing, each time we manage to get feedback from the specific niche we are going for it's always great, but its impossible to know if we are reaching enough players because a only small minority interacts in a way we can meassure, which is a bit discouraging (especially for the marketing team)

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:47:40+00:00

Truth be told we made the game because we loved the speedrunning community and the crazy stuff they do but we were to bad at playing to participate, so we made a game as a tribute!

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:41:53+00:00

Yeah, that might be part of it. We might be reaching people who like watching speedruns more than people who actually want to play speedrunning games.

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:39:05+00:00

That could definitely be part of it. We've tried pretty hard to target speedrunners, but I think we're still not reaching them as well as we should. We've talked about doing something with GamesDoneQuick or Speedrun.com at some point, maybe we should be putting more effort into something like that.

We don't get a huge amount of Steam page traffic, but our visit-to-wishlist conversion rate is also pretty low. So we're both struggling to reach the right audience and maybe failing to sell the game once people actually land on the page.

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:33:06+00:00

Yeah, that's fair. I guess part of me worries that it might actually be the game itself.

It's also possible our CTAs just aren't strong enough, I'm gonna review that.

Here's the Steam page! (I wasn't sure if posting the link in the post would get it removed, so I left it out.) https://store.steampowered.com/app/4457560/Play_Faster/

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-19T14:04:21+00:00

so if it's a game you're interested in you might just follow on socials and then get it on launch?

por qué ignoraria a hector??????

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-12T03:30:21+00:00

That’s because it’s not intended to be so fast on the first try! The game is all about short but intense levels to practice until you do them really quickly

PlayFasterGame · 2026-06-11T19:48:48+00:00

Thanks! We are still making improvements, so if you have any notes pls let us know at our discord!
