Pitching metroidvania creators

  • • Creators cover these as multi-part let's plays. Tell them roughly how many hours the map holds.
  • • Name one ability that opens the map in a surprising way; it's the clip they'll cut.

Common questions

How do I find YouTubers who play metroidvania games?

Start from games like yours. The creators on this page made videos about metroidvania games in the last few months; the ones who covered several similar games are listed first. For your own game, StoreCheck's Indie Monitor lists creators who covered your rivals.

Should I pitch big or small metroidvania creators?

Smaller channels (roughly 1K to 100K subscribers) answer more often and their audiences trust them. Pitch a handful of the right size and genre rather than everyone at once.

How many Steam keys should I send?

Send one key per creator, only after they say yes, and keep a list of who has which key. Requests from unknown emails are often key resellers; StoreCheck's key request inbox flags the warning signs.
