Hello everybody,
I've been coming to Indie Hackers for a couple of months to read and learn about how to plan my milestones for the release of my game.
I don't believe in regular game promotion so I just dressed up as a lion and made a couple of Instagram videos, which lead me to 300 downloads in two days. Good enough for launch and get better positioning in the stores.
After this, I'm thinking of starting to promote the same way with funny sketches on Tik Tok and, when I have around 1000 users I will start to pay for ads.
I think the game is great but there is a lot of room for improvement, I launched with only 32 levels but looks like people are having fun and enjoying it a lot so far, which makes me happy!. I just hope that people that I don't know also like it.
You can find the game at https://wildsquadgame.com if you open that link from a phone it will take you to the right store, it's available for Android and iOS. Also, it's free.
What recommendations can you give for promoting it? My budget is very low compared to game studios, I could invest around 2k to 3k from my savings.
Thank you!.
Whats the target age group?
14 to 24.
then you should go with tiktok and snap. Try contacting with influencers to promote your app. If you have a budget you can try ads on insta and snap. Let me know if you need more help
