Where are all the new players coming from?

Youtube aglorythm makes random things famous these lasts weeks yeah

Well, HoneyBunny and ParagonHex have been making videos all along, though.

So I guess it's the YouTube recommender then, suddenly bringing in new people...

We rolled out our Android beta on Google PlayStore on July 1st, US time (1 am July 2nd, CET). As we understood it, the app would be invisible unless you had the opt-in-link. This turned out to be a false assumption, which we realized earlier today after getting several emails from people.

We've now tried to pull it by making it unavailable in all countries, but there seems to be some delay before all their servers get the updated info. Why do we want to pull it? Because Google weirdly enough charges people full price for installing a beta, and that was not our intention. Instead, we are listing those who are interested as internal testers, so there is no money charge.

Anyway, it felt like a curious coincidence that more people suddenly found out about the game during the last three days, so maybe this contributed to some of that, who knows...

Yes, I guess that could be it.

But I sent out an email survey, and no one mentioned the mobile version as the reason they suddenly bought the game. "Saw it on YouTube" is what everyone said.

I came from YouTube.

Thanks, MattShea.

I'm also wondering if there's some video that mentions the game, but doesn't use the game name in its title. Then that video wouldn't be showing up in searches.
Anyone have any leads on this?

Hi Jason, no leads but I just bought in today after watching a few youtube video from my feed like most others. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtGlctP1J0

I just bought the game a couple of days ago (July 3rd, 2018). My wife showed it to me. She said that she saw a YouTube video that she mistakenly clicked. It looked interesting, she thought I'd like it. So far I do!

Hello new people, i wish you live happily with a bowl of stew in hands

Hello, I love your game and want to give you all the information you need to understand how more are coming to your game. I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPtGlctP1J0&t=174s on June 22nd at 5:00 am. It was recommended to me. I had never heard of the game before that and was immediately interested. I hope you can use this to your advantage.

I also bought the game due to youtube - can't find the exact video but it was posted by Draegast. After watching for about 5 minutes, i bought the game then watched a bunch of other ones. So far, the game seems great!
