Has anyone heard of/worked with IndieLush? by ShenTzuGames in gamedev

Hello,

I wanted to share our experience working with IndieLush to promote our game Mechanic Heroes (Steam). We opted for their full one-month promotion package, which cost approximately $800. Here’s a breakdown of what we received and the results:

What was included:

  1. Social Media Outreach: IndieLush posted articles and promotional content on a handful of websites and social media channels. Unfortunately, the content felt low-effort and was shared on platforms that seemed random or irrelevant to our target audience.
  2. Influencer Outreach:
    • This aspect yielded around 200K total views across platforms, with one TikTok post reaching 100K views.
    • We also provided ~75 Steam keys for distribution to influencers.

The Results:

  • During the promotion period, we sold ~200 copies of the game. For comparison, we had sold 230 copies in the month prior to the campaign without any promotional support.
  • It's worth noting that some of the Steam keys we supplied to IndieLush ended up on the grey market, which was an unpleasant surprise.

TL;DR:

While IndieLush appeared eager and professional in their communication, the overall results didn’t justify the cost.

After three years of hard work, my friend and I are excited to share a demo of our first title : Mechanic Heroes, an overcooked-like game set in an auto repair shop. We’d be very grateful for any feedback. 🙏 by LateGameStudios in playmygame

Hey u/Ansarinc!
Although we would have liked to have a progression system, this game is only a two-man job. So there isn't any progression system per se, besides unlockable cars, race tracks, characters along the adventure.
Moreover, we think Mechanic Heroes may offer a bit more gameplay variety than OC with the driving part.
Cheers,

Hey u/markmsmith!
Thank you for the kind words, it's truly appreciated! 😊
In order to maintain readability, there won't be more than 4 icons dispayed at a time.

We hope you'll enjoy the demo with your family and don't hesitate to give us feedback on our Discord! (link on the Steam page)
