Myself, @MrEmo and @AlucardGames have been discussing our experiences in trying to get our games noticed on the stores and review sites here.@AlucardGames posted this link to a list of review sites which I’ve been looking through:
A lot of the websites are aimed more at apps than games and there are a lot of them offering either marketing or pay per review services. Here’s my own personal list of contact emails / online submission forms that’s targeted more towards games, hopefully it proves useful to someone:
So I spent the last couple days making a company website (it was needed) and I finally got my presskit ready. For the past 4 hours I have been emailing promo codes to review sites.
Will be interesting to see if anyone has any success, I’ll also update with any progress.
Having your own site is definitely very important. My company website www.chillmonster.com is pretty basic but links to microsites for each of my games, which contain the store links, screenshots and presskits. I guess making the assets easily accessible is one less obstacle for a reviewer.
Thank you! I had missed that. Sadly it doesn’t seem to have affected my sales a bit.
But at least that’s one from the holy grail list that reviewed it!
I released a geography quiz game last week which uses Xamarin but not MonoGame, it’s called Geo Wiz if anyone is curious.
I’ve emailed all of the review sites in the list but no joy yet. I did however find a website called androidapppromotion.com where you install an app that functions as a developer community, so you all download each others apps to bump the figures up.
It’s free and seems to work quite well. I got about 30 downloads in the hour I played around with it, so definitely worth a look.
