Can I post my startup on TikTok — Gameplay Clips?

You can share here directly, provided you follow the format. Posts are rarely removed when they lead with substance instead of a pitch.

Ban risk
Low
Best time to post
Fri–Sun, 5–9pm (viewer's local time)
Audience
Huge #indiegame and gaming audience that shares and stitches satisfying gameplay clips; a strong wishlist/download driver for a visually distinctive game.

Why the ban risk is low

  • Built for sharing what you made — no promo-specific restrictions beyond the format.

The rules, in plain English

A format, not a community feed. The hook is the first 2 seconds of gameplay — the most visually striking mechanic, kill, or 'oddly satisfying' moment — with no intro card. Screen-capture at 60fps, keep it vertical, add captions for the mute-scrollers, and use a trending sound where it fits the vibe. Post clips on a steady cadence (several a week); one breakout clip can carry a whole launch. Attribution caveat: TikTok posts carry NO clickable link — bio link only — so tracked attribution is weak; route the bio to a single dedicated short link (Steam page / store) and expect much of the lift to show as direct traffic and wishlist spikes you can only self-attribute.

How to post here safely

Do
  • Follow the community's stated norms and lead with value.
Don't
  • Don't post an undisclosed or link-heavy promotion.
