Match your topic and genre
This is quite a simple one so you'll likely do this instinctively. But just in case it wasn't obvious; try and match your game topic with the genre. For example, if you've picked a Romance game, should it be Action, or Simulation? That's not to say you can't get creative. A Disaster Action game could be cool, for example, though we're not so sure Zombies fit into a Casual demographic.
