Hey Ben. I am afraid, advertising your own game is not allowed in this section of the forum. You can either showcase your game in the Game Showcase section or you can advertise it within a SteamGifts giveaway of yours.
And then there's also this rule about what is not allowed:
Third party giveaways that require or reward users for performing profitable actions. For example, linking to a giveaway on another service that requires or incentivizes users to click a referral link, like a Facebook page, follow a Twitter account, join a Steam group, complete a survey, sign-up for a newsletter, or make a donation.
https://www.steamgifts.com/about/guidelines
https://www.steamgifts.com/about/faq
If I were you, I'd close this thread immediately, make myself familiar with the rules and then maybe open another one in the Game Showcase section or make a giveway and use its description, as long as it follows the other rules.

I already have the first game but I'd love to try our the second game later when I have time! The concept is super cool, best of luck to you.

Are you still giving keys out? I didn't see any time limit listed but it's been over a week and no emails yet

As Waxworm said, you're kinda going against the guidelines of the site.
...Why not just do a multi-key giveaway using Steamgifts? That's what it's here for.
You can make it invite-only and change this discussion to the relevant section.
That way you can also advertise your new game.
It's been a few years since you did a big giveaway for the old game, and I'm sure you'll get some new interest that way as well.
Loved the first game by the way, but I'm not a big fan of demos, so won't be doing trying Chromagun 2 out until well after release.
Good luck!

Or as Waxworm said, just move thread to Game Showcase and leave it as it is. I believe (might be wrong), that people playing demo gives way more visibility than single muticopies GA here.

This sounds great!
If you could post it on your X/Twitter account it would help lend an air of legitimacy to the claim.
There are other things mentioned there but not the free copy of ChromaGun 1 :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yes, it is a bit hard at some points. We had another version that was slightly less tough, but where it took too long to come to interesting areas. It's really hard to balance this, but we are working on it and will get this sorted out until full release of the game :)

Thank you for the opportunity, I really liked the demo and I’m really looking forward to playing the first part of the game.

Glad you liked it, thanks! It'd be fantastic if you could consider a review of the demo on Steam!

Pleasant surprise that the demo has achievements. 100%'d it, it was a joy.

Thanks so much! It would be fantastic if you would consider reviewing the demo if you like it

Just finished demo :). It was pretty cool. I hope I entered it right for first one (was it first question this with "SteamGifts" - did not saw anything else up to the end :) ). Than you for demo and change to play 1 too :).
Ps. This last level was a little tricky for a moment :).

Thanks for the headsup! just played it and ofc completed the form as honestly as I could. Overall I liked it. Had 1 CTD tho, and had to look for hints once or twice as I didn't or couldn't figure it out on my own heh.
Hope it works out and I'd love to have a chance for the 1st one, might as well compare how it was, regarding this second title.
Cheers Glukosesirup
Edit: thx! I finished the demo like 2 days ago or so and yesterday I activated chromagun 1 as promised, awesome thank you!

Hmm. Interesting.. checks notes. I do have an unredeemed copy of the first game from 2022 (Stand With Ukraine Charity Bundle).
I think I may play the demo. Get the key and activate it. Then give my older copy away. That way you get two people interested for me playing the demo.
Oh. saw the note about the rules. Thinking about it, yes it likely is against the rules. But I believe your post is in good faith. I'll give the demo a try after work.

As I understand it you need to put "SteamGifts" on the pre-filled field "version" despite there is written to do not touch it.

here's a walkthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mb0_Y1iU8g&ab_channel=no_leaf_clover

I forgot that step when I did the demo (I had read the part about not touching that field unless blank, and missed the part here that said to add SteamGifts to that section). The response I got from Glukosesirup on the Discord about it was:
The deal is the same across all platforms, but when posting on SteamGifts I mentioned that it would be great to add "SteamGifts" in the form. For the playtest newsletter that is not necessary because we can match the emails with the mailing list
He sent me a key in Discord DMs, but probably best to put SteamGifts in that field if you remember to/read this message.

Submitted the form twice, once with the feedback, the other times with the SteamGifts addon, hope that's fine :P

Update:
This has ended now, thanks a lot for everybody who participated!
We're giving away our first game, ChromaGun, which usually costs $12.99.
What you have to do for this:
We will email you the key for ChromaGun 1 afterward.
It would be, of course, fantastic if you would give us feedback about the demo in that form, but it is not a necessity.
Playtime of the demo is 45 minutes on average, but you can also do it in 5 minutes if you are super-smart (or if you watch a walkthrough :) ); we also have a speedrun contest running.
Our goal is to get as many players as possible into the demo as this gives the title more visibility, and to get feedback on the demo before we release the full game :)
