Hey guys, as an IO Game dev I find the 1 source of traffic being game portals, and it’s pretty hard to find portals that ACTUALLY respond to put your game so I’m making this list to help people promote their games, as per my opinion. & experience with them
If I missed any, feel free to reply. I’ll update this post from time to time with any new portals.
Thanks!
Recommended & responds (easiest to start with first):
poki.com (biggest name in webgame industry atm) crazygames.com (huge playerbase, used to be easier but almost impossible to get added these days) io.games (non-existent owners?)
Thanks for this list! I’m a bit new to the web portal space, having mostly worked on downloadable games, but I started with itch and newgrounds for my io game and although they didn’t bring a ton of traffic they still kicked things off and I was able to release there without waiting for emails or approvals from anyone.
I currently get about 50 players a day via itch, but it’s hard to tell whether that’s from itch itself or if it’s just players being redirected there from my game’s original website.
Hey! Apologies for the shameless plug but wanted to add hahagames.com to the list. We check each and every request coming our way and are always happy to add new quality games to the site. IO games have been very popular with our audience.
You can request a game to be added at the bottom of the page via the “Request a game” function, by emailing contact at hahagames dot com or just by DMing me here.
