So I made a game, published first release Monday and set it on Show HN.
Got a few people to test it out & give some good info, what I found the most helpful was the range of devices I saw being used and Which ones had issue. Where besides here can I post a link to my game and have people try it for at least a minute or 2 so that I can see where improvements need to be made and which devices are having issues playing it. If people like the game then great but I am mostly looking to get a broad range of feedback instead of a few people here and there that I know. If anyone here would like to test please do so and let others know as well:

- TouchArcade Forums (You can create a thread for your game)
- Make a Facebook page for your game, just do it. You don't have to post personal stuff on your page if you have reasons to dislike FB.
- Twitter has lots of indie game activities like #screenshotsaturday, #indiedev and #gamedev. Start following indy developers -- just follow a few and twitter will suggest more -- and soon you will have lots of quick feedback. If you post screenshots and vines or gifs, you will probably get people offering to test it for you.
- Go to starbucks and offer to buy people a coffee if they check out your game and give you feedback. I haven't actually done this at starbucks, but I'll ask people on transit sometimes if I see them playing a mobile game and they're usually happy to try it.
If you're willing to shell out a few bucks, http://www.usertesting.com/ is really useful.
As far as "how do I get a lot of people to try my game without buying ads", well, good luck, if you figure it out let me know. :)
