Velocity

This game has no Velocity yet. The scoring pass only ranks games that clear an audience floor and have enough history to measure acceleration over — everything below that line is collected but not scored, which is most of the catalogue.

Lead and lag

30 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 Rusty Flesh, 30 daysLead and lag over 30 days, 2026-09-06 to 2026-10-05, each series scaled to its own change so the timing can be compared. Not enough of the ladder to compare. Ratings: 11 throughout, no change at all.100%50%0%Sep 6Oct 5Ratings

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.

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.
