The power of reddit

Yesterday I linked my new game (http://parrothunt.nergal.se) in reddit.com/r/webgames to hopefully get feedback. And just then I realized how powerful reddit is to spread your work and get feedback. It's so simple to target towards correct group of people, in this case games created for the web. Nowhere else that I'm aware of can you reach out to thousands of people around the world with the same interest that easily.

So only in 24 hours my little game has been played about 1100 times and had above 1500 unique visitors. I've gotten multiple feature requests and a lot of positive comments.

Reaching out to people interested in the same subject and get that huge response gets you motivated to continue develop what you love to do. I strongly recommend people who spend a lot of time working on small projects in their spare time to spread their work at reddit. It's not just another funny pictures site!

Thumbs up for reddit!
