Mass promotional giveaways for games I have reviewed (Rats currently inside)

Open
TheIronicGamer

So for the past months I have been reviewing newly released indie games on steam. I've been doing this in a way to promote the developers. What i've noticed however is that many of these games don't get much attention and are kinda left in the dark. I decided a new way to promote the developers work.

I have contacted every dev of the games I gave positive reviews to. (Well I don't want to promote the negatively reviewed games anymore!) I asked them if they would like their game promoted on steamgifts by way of mass giveaways. So far I have gotten two replies and one dev that has already sent keys. But be on the lookout for more giveaways in this thread soon. Giveaways for above 50 keys will be public so they can be featured on the homepage. Any giveaway below this amount will be invite only for you forum lovers!

Games in the giveaway list-

  • Rats: Time is Running out!

    Short Description: Pressed for time?! Same for this rat, but he can manipulate it! Join RedEyes the Rat on the heist of his life. Sneak into the bank, steal the diamond, evade the guards . . . and then get out! But most of all, be clever, trick time, and take back what’s ours from the Pigs who control all the banks in Swine

Awesome! But it's a shame that you can't make the public ones Level 1+ at least, to filter some leechers, hoarders and multi-accounts.

Thanks a lot, I'm checking your reviews.

Can I ask is the rats giveaway showing on the homepage as a featured giveaway? I can't see since I own it and have created the giveaway.

For me, nope. If I didn't check the topic, I wouldn't have know about this giveaway.
By the way, thank you for it ;)
I really like what you're doing.

No, but it should start showing up when there are only 2 or 3 days remaining (can't remember the exact time).

It seems it's "3 days remaining" according to featured main page GAs.

If you deselect the option of hiding giveaways for products you own, this game should show up for you on the list like any other.

I tried that. It wasn't on there before. Although i'm guessing it is now since I just got a hell of a lot of entries really quickly!

Thank you for doing this. Just FYI, the Rats giveaway is showing up as a featured giveaway now. In fact, that's how I made my way to this thread. Cheers! =)

Ahh I love this game. The devs gave me a few copies to do a giveaway a while back as well. It's so fun, I hope it gets more attention.
Here's my review of the game if people want a second opinion as well. It also has a video explaining the game for 15 minutes.

I hope you don't mind if I leave that here, it's always good to get multiple opinions about something :)

Good luck to the devs!

Yeah i saw your giveaways and review a little while ago. It's cool that you leave it there. The more exposure for this game the better, it deserves it!
