Read original coverage ↗02 / Evidence standards
Real traction.
Clearly measured.
Independent articles provide evidence of public attention. Game analytics are a separate metric and should only be published after checking first-party logs or analytics dashboards.
- Product: independently verified live game at busanshark.com
- Media mentions: four source-verified outlets linked above
- Gameplay details: leaderboard, item pickups and obstacle dodging visible in the current product
- Traffic, plays, DAU and retention: to be added only from the owner's data
EVIDENCE NOT INFLATED
Media coverage is not a user-count claim.
Articles about visitors to the real shark's location do not measure the number of people who played this game. We deliberately keep the two separate.
