Does Anyone Know Legal Advertising Tips for a Game?

[RyanDaGreat]

Hello! I have just recently released a game, but I don’t know how to get it popular. I know there must be some tricks in the book for advertising… it would be helpful if you can post tips.

Well, advertising a game on the forums is not allowed and is heavily frowned upon… but there are plenty of ways to have your game become popular.

Common mistakes that can make your platformer map less enjoyable. (And how to fix them)

Now, as a person who will scroll through discovery and try out games, I’ve noticed some things that a lot of people forget that make the map less enjoyable and more annoying. Here are 8 common mistakes that people make in their maps, as well as how to fix and improve them 1. no lasers or respawn zones 2. no damage set on lasers 3. laser image is off (sorry for the confusing title) 4. repetitiveness 5. no checkpoints 6. when you fall, THE GAME ENDS 7. Impossible jumps 8. the r…

From the dozens of 'How to make my map popular' topics:

• Get a better thumbnail
• Wait if you just published it
• Advertise on other sites
• Unpublish it and publish it again if need be

To answer your question,
It’s pretty much psychology.

Maps pretty much can be broken down in to a few key pieces:

• Replayability
• Difficulty Curve
• Introduction of new/changing mechanics

Replayability is pretty much the biggest thing. Is it fun to play again and again?

I will mention that the search is based on the description, not the title, so the description should have stuff that people search for a-lot, but there’s not many games of. The title should be kind of clickbait and have a interesting thumbnail.

Once you start getting a lot of views (as @California_Love stated), it’ll show up higher on the lists of published games, garnering even more views.

I’d recommend looking at algorithm’s such as YouTube and Google’s search algorithms if you want to understand a bit more about this. Gimkit probably just ranks them based on plays though.

One of the best strategies are to get a bunch of plays from the wix, causing it to be higher up on the play lists (more plays).

If you be a bit more specific about why you want to know, then I can explain more.

Some basic math for the average mid map.
Let’s say you get 3 plays a day. At around 400 views it appears closer to the top, so the average map would take 133 days just to reach the basic milestone. (this is the general reason that higher quality maps/maps with more replayability rise up faster).

Just ask yourself the questions when testing/playing a map (from an objective standpoint).

• Is it fun to play?
• Would you play it multiple times?
• Does it get more difficult as the player gets better and further through the game?

@speedy_kd4

make sure your game name is easy to find aswell, the discovery search engine is pretty messed up. and since it goes off of the description, so maybe include the type of game in your description aswell.

@C-C

You could also go to the Wixsite and publish your c0de in the C0de sharing chat!
Here’s a link for the Wix

@Cellofive

By advertising it somewhere other than the forums

@CassiusDoomlorde

By making it a good game that people want to play. Good games are spread without any work.

Put actual effort. Don’t make some dingy “skibidi toillet only up gorilla tag Roblox free g1mbucks real tycoon surviail” game. Share it on the wixsite. share it with friends. Just make a good game, and if you really put in the effort, your can make it to trending. Seriously.
