Hey all. I've got two titles here on Itch. They are very similar games but, because of graphic requirements, one is play in browser and one requires a download. The play in browser game is getting 10 to 1 more plays. I assume this is because people are hesitant to download an app. Is this likely to be the issue and how do you recommend getting around it? Thanks!
Playing a game in a browser requires less effort from users, so you are likely to have more people trying out the browser game.
As opposed to downloading a game, which requires downloading the files, extracting them, and find out where the executable is. Not to mention there’s more chances of something goes wrong, like the game not running properly on someone’s system.
I don’t think there’s anything you can do about this, it’s just how it works. The easier a game is to access the more people will give it a go.
