Got A Blog? - Win A Free Game!

Please observe that this contest has now ended.

Have you got a site, blog or forum (if not you could just make a squidoo lens)?
Want one of our games for free? Want to expose your blog to our 1400+ member community and ~500 daily visitors, and get permanent links?
Well look no further! Just post a blurb about Spell of Play with a relevant link*, to us and you have a 1 in 10 chance of getting the game you want!

What you write about and what you link to is entirely up to you. Could be a game review, your opinion about hUb, a blurb about this contest (the more people that enter the faster you can get your game), or just about anything Smiling

When done, just drop a mail to: game_compo_1@spellofplay.com (or just post a comment on it here, or DM me on Twitter), include the link to your post and the game you want (packs are not included in the compo)

When we have 10 entries, one will get the game, and the competition will start over.

Nice idea!

Got to say that I love this idea, it gets your "face" out there and someone gets a treat. I already have a blog (that I haven't updated for ages mind you) and on that I have a review of T.W.T.P.B. But I'd feel like a cheap ba***rd for using that to get the game. =P

Took me a while to remember where I had it though, bad sign, I know. I should probably doodle some more in it, but I never seem to feel like it.. any tips on that?

Teh link: T.W.T.P.B

You are entered in the game compo!

Saweeth! I remember reading your blog a while back, good stuff man!

When it comes to blogging, it's better to make any post than procrastinate over not doing the ultimate blog post to rule them all.

You could also try Twitter, for microblogging, quite cool Smiling

If you want to be sure to be included in this "round" you can just post a short blurb (maybe just about the competition) on your blog. If you then do a review you can enter it for the second round Smiling

More for all contest entries

As a special bonus all that enter in the competition and have posted their link here will be rewarded with a special "competition roundup" blog post with a link to their entry!

This should provide some extra visibility and visitors for those who enter the compo!

slots left?

Where does that put us?

By the way, I already have my first Spell of Play Studios Game review up. But I figure I don't want to post it until I get in the next contest round. However you guys can go over to reviews.gamesafoot.com (as in my sig) and read it there. But you better do it fast because tonight and tomorrow i'm going to have 3 more reviews up Eye-wink

One slot left That review

One slot left Smiling

That review is actually quite good. I like your rambling style of writing. The only thing I might want is a more clear "grade" thing in the start of the review so you quickly can get what you think, since it takes quite a bit of reading between the lines in your review text.

Kind of wierd to do a review, review... kind of meta Sticking out tongue

And honestly I don't know if we'll run this competition for more than one round, as it seems it has been hard work to get people to enter. So I'll probably have to rethink the approach for a bit...

and oh... feel free to ask for review copies of our games.

My reviews

In other words, you can't tell if I'm being sarcastic or not. I will have to look into that. I mean it to be sort of Tongue-in-cheek, because I can't hope to actually be funny, and I'm not into giving scathing reviews to someone. (Doing something like Zero Punctuation ain't my bag) But I do like to have my own style, and hopefully it's slightly humorous to people. I will however try to bring clarity into the reviews.

As far as review copies, who should I email about that?

I think the review-text is quite good, and you have a unique style so you should keep that. I'd only like a fast way to get your general opinion of the game.

You can use our contact form to get review copies.

Want more?

I came across this from GameTunnel. I came across GameTunnel from the indiegamers forums. If you want some more entries, you might try getting some visablity there (announcement forums). Not sure if you've posted there already. If not, you probably attract alot of devs who are looking for traffic. If you have, let us know and maybe someone can bump it? (threads do vanish fast there)

Actually I did post in the

Actually I did post in the indiegamers forums but it seems as it did not attract any attention at all... should maybe have posted it in the announcements section...

users avatar

Gotcha

Oh okay - yeah I am surprised - there's usually quite a few people clammoring for ideas on how to increase traffic and interlink websites.
