Velocity

-0.001

Looking For You Velocity, last 14 days: falling across 14 days, 0.01 to -0.00 (low -0.00, high 0.01).

Confidence 50%

Confidence is the share of Velocity’s four components that could be measured for this game, scaled down again when there is less than a fortnight to measure over. Here, comments and ratings had a measurable acceleration on 2026-10-16. Topic views did not. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 14 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

Which counter moved first

Lead and lag

30 days

Ratings are running ahead of comments.

By the average day in this window, comments had taken 34% of their change and ratings 51%. That is the reverse of the order the signal is built on — the audience arrived before the attention did, which reads as a game being found rather than one breaking out.

Lead and lag for Looking For You, 30 daysLead and lag over 30 days, 2026-09-18 to 2026-10-17, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Ratings are running ahead of comments. Furthest apart on 2026-09-23, 47 points between ratings and comments. Comments: 1,072 to 1,092, up 20, most of that change came late in the window. Ratings: 891 to 939, up 48, the change came at a steady pace.100%50%0%-30%Sep 18Oct 1747 pts apartCommentsRatings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 30 days, so counters that differ by orders of magnitude can be compared by shape. The vertical gap is what matters: a line higher on the left took its change earlier. The real counts are in the legend, and the day-by-day numbers are below. The axis runs past its ends because a counter went beyond its final value inside the window and came back — a deleted comment, a withdrawn rating. The scale is widened rather than the curve clipped, so the round trip stays visible.

A blank change is not a zero: the scoring pass refuses a window whose nearest observation is too stale to compare, rather than differencing two points that are not seven days apart.
