How can I get the first downloads of my game?

                Recently, the game jam I took part in ended and took 7th place! Now I've released a big final update where I've fixed some bugs and added more content. But I ran into a problem that all the downloads were only from game jam participants, and now my activity has dropped😢. Does anyone know how I can get more downloads and promote my game? I will be glad to all your answers🙃!

Not by spamming the forum, in any event. See this answer to a related question asked recently. Briefly put, interact with others so they'll interact with you. Especially in a jam, you should be the first to play other games and leave comments, so people will notice and do the same in turn. Hope this helps.

Your game isn't free. No wonder you don't have as many dowloads as during the game jam.

I recommend making free games first to to gather a following then make $ games.

OK! This is advice! To interact!! To communicate! Thanks!
