That is an oldie, that I did in high-school, just scratching my own itch (I was addicted to a game called XJump, but wanted a better version). The major marketing thing I did was submitting it to the GNU project, which helped it get some exposure. It also got packaged into Debian, which also got it into Ubuntu, which helped it get visibility and ease of install. For a while a few times a year I would receive recordings of "high scores" that people would send me to upload to the official website, where I kept a ranking. The website is now down sadly (ooops!).
