What got my game a bunch of views and downloads was having it up for 1$. Then I put it on sale for free when a sale came around, it got posted by some other people to a few "free games" pages. I'm not sure if anyone actually played but the downloads certainly went up.

That's interesting, do you think that will have got you more downloads than just being free the whole time? 

I always intended for this game to be free, but I'll bare that in mind for the future

I do think the idea of something being on sale for free motivated people to download it. Also I'm sure the fact that is was posted to a few external list sites had a significant impact. Especially considering we have done no other kind of advertising for it.
