Not generally, no, but knowing the target audience for your app might help people advise you on how to promote it.

Well, being a game the target audience would be people that play computer role playing fps games. :) How do i promote that?

Best bet is to approach some of the bigger Linux-orientated blogs out there and see if they'd be interested in reviewing it.

I agree with Joey, he might even have some ideas of blogs that would work :)

You might be able to do, or have a friend do, a review on it with screen shots and such and submit it to the Full Circle magazine. On their sight they are always wanting articles from the community.
