Challenge

With more than 60 million people who have played their games to date on FB Messenger, SOFTGAMES wanted to further develop and optimize long-term monetization for their growing portfolio. With that goal, they integrated GameAnalytics and began the task of improving their monetization strategy for millions of daily users. The key challenge: How would they iterate and improve performance?

Solution

Simple: accelerating growth by tracking and optimizing core KPIs and player patterns. SOFTGAMES created custom dashboards for progression metrics to help balance game design elements, from virtual economies to player churn. With these insights they introduced game features that helped to build up a loyal community of players, and improved engagement for their returning users.

A new opportunity

When they were invited by Facebook to become one of only 15 launch partners on Instant Games, SOFTGAMES immediately understood the massive opportunity.

Since then it became the mission of the world’s largest HTML5 games provider to enhance the overall Messenger games experience… and in this pursuit, they’ve now released a string of hit titles, including Cookie Crush, Solitaire Story, and Bubble Shooter HD. One cornerstone of their ongoing success is the focus on high-quality games that they tailor precisely to the features available on certain platforms, such as leaderboards or progress syncing on FB Messenger.

For this successful studio, measuring, understanding, and balancing progression flows with a considered focus of these platform-specific features is the key to driving and accelerating growth. They supplement this by listening to their community and quickly actioning the feedback, constantly optimizing their portfolio with data from GameAnalytics, and keeping their titles fresh with interesting new challenges.
