Virality

Niche is crowded — Poki's Hair Games category already lists 6+ titles (Diva Hair Salon, Funny Haircut, Funny Hair Salon, Barbershop Inc., Beauty Salon, Diva Makeup Studio, Nails DIY) and 'Diva Hair Salon' was itself a copy of the earlier hair-salon wave, so a similar mechanic risks being the 8th lookalike.Poki 'Hair Games' category shows multiple direct competitors (Funny Haircut, Funny Hair Salon, Barbershop Inc., Slice Master, Beauty Salon)
