Velocity

-0.809

Synapse Velocity, last 14 days: rising across 5 days, -1.00 to -0.81 (low -1.00, high -0.81).

Confidence 8%

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. None of its three counters had a measurable acceleration. We also have itch.io chart positions for it, which is the fourth component. It was observed on 12 of the last 14 days. How this is computed.

Lead and lag

12 days

Not enough of the ladder to compare.

Only ratings could be plotted, so there is no second counter to compare the timing against.

Lead and lag for Synapse, 12 daysLead and lag over 12 days, 2026-08-21 to 2026-09-01, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Not enough of the ladder to compare. Ratings: 32 to 34, up 2, most of that change came early in the window.100%50%0%Aug 21Sep 1Ratings

Each line is scaled to its own change across these 12 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 numbers behind the chart

The counter as we recorded it that day, and beside it the share of the window’s change it had reached — the value the chart plots.

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.

A climb is places gained, so a positive number means it moved up. The line rises when the game is climbing, which is the opposite direction to the raw position.

No devlog has been posted since we started watching on 2026-08-20. itch.io publishes only the most recent devlog date, so anything posted before then leaves no trace here.

We hold counters and metadata only. Nothing on the game’s own page — its description, its screenshots, its build — is republished here, and everything worth reading about it is behind those links.
