So, we shipped the app and [crickets].
What are the main things we have to do to get some organic downloads going?

One thing is for sure, and many here will agree with me: to make your game noticed nowadays, is way harder than to create the game itself... :'(
Yes, it has to be eye-catcher!One thing that I've noticed in the app stores is that some apps have terrible cluttered logos/icons. When I search for a type of app in an app store, I find my eye is drawn to the clearer simpler logos rather than the ones that have lots of parts to them and too much text.
I would also ask a bunch of friends to share it on social media and post to various social media groups like Facebook, Linkedin, etc. Those have worked well for me to this point.
I tried a few different Facebook ad campaigns and didn't get many conversions out of it. I wouldn't recommend it tbh.
