How to make your game popular?

I have been wondering the popular games like Meowy's Adventure v1.3 and Marble Quest. And it got me thinking, how did it get so popular? hope someone can answer. :)

Good game design and unique mechanics (or reliable ones in the case of Meowy's Adventure). You can also share it with people you know so it gets more likes.

Cool! maybe the game were working on can be a unique game of a metroidvania that will inspire microstudio. :)
