tips for getting reviews?

ColorplayGames

Hi all,
My game (Castaway Jelly) has been out for about a week now and I've been pretty happy with the number of downloads but I have had absolutely no reviews on the app review sites. I've sent information and promo codes out to a large number of sites but have just had no luck. Does anyone have any tips/tricks/suggestions for getting a game reviewed?
Thanks in advance,
Jenna

You are doing what you need to with submission. I see you are also doing the twitter/facebook thing. Have you posted a thread on toucharcade.com? Also, you might consider making a video. Best of luck.

Hi Jenna, not sure if you know or not but your game is in the hot new games section of the AppStore in the UK store. Well done :-)

I saw it in N&N for Games in the US yesterday when I was looking Buzz Buzz Bang!...

BLitz the sites! I intend to send info (including a video) to EVERY app site I can find, even the small ones. You never know, someone at Touch Arcade might see it and say "hey, how come we haven't run a story on this? It's obviously the greatest game in the history of mankind!"

By the way, this site has a nice consolidated list of review sites.

Thanks for sharing that list! More review sites are always appreciated I've been sending information out to every site I can find, I guess it's just a matter of a little bit of luck and lots of patience!

@lazypixels thanks for the heads up, that's exciting!!
