Wake Me Up If You Need Me Velocity, last 14 days: rising across 14 days, -0.00 to -0.00 (low -0.00, high 0.00).

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 2026-10-14. 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

No ordering to read here.

Across this window, comments moved by 1, under its floor of 20; ratings moved by 9, under its floor of 20. Timing two counters against each other needs both of them to have risen, by more than the floor this page sets for that counter so a handful of events cannot read as an ordering, and to have stayed between their own start and end values — a counter that went past one of those and came back has no share of its change to time. The shapes are drawn; which of them moved first is not claimed.

Lead and lag for Wake Me Up If You Need Me, 30 daysLead and lag over 30 days, 2026-09-15 to 2026-10-14, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. No ordering to read here. Comments: 289 to 290, up 1, most of that change came early in the window. Ratings: 996 to 1,005, up 9, most of that change came late in the window.100%50%0%-11%Sep 15Oct 14CommentsRatings

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runs past its ends because a counter went beyond its final value inside the window and came back — a deleted comment, a withdrawn rating.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.

Last devlog 2025-09-11 — 398 days ago. That was already the most recent devlog when we started watching on 2026-08-20, so there is no cadence to read from it yet. The platform publishes only the most recent devlog date, so this is a floor rather than the project’s history.
