Blast Monkeys Android Co-Marketing

Other Third-Party Tools
#1

–[[edit, actually Zoo Club made another deal with us~ so no co-marketing for now. But we will feature Corona games in our news page. Just post here, and I’ll queue you up.]]

As some of you may have noticed, the android version of Blast Monkeys offers players 150mc to download a game called Zoo Club. At the time Zoo Club also offered coins to players who downloaded Blast Monkeys, as a way to cross promote the games.

That space is up for grabs, along with the empty space below it.

We are working on a different way to offer up coin to our players for free, but until that system is done there is an opportunity for your game to be featured in Blast Monkeys, in a way that rewards players for downloading. (You can see the success of this method by searching for #BlastMonkeys on twitter)

The only requirement for the cross promotion is that you also feature blast monkeys in your android game. (I can provide code if needed.)

Let me know on this thread if you’re interested,

Hi Angelo,

Sounds like a very great idea. I’m interested but it will be at least a week before I can get some kind of incentive rewards point system for my game Bomb The Birds in the Android store. (Perhaps you can give me some suggestion on a possible “coins” or credits implementation for my game). I can use a bit of help to push the downloads in the Android store :]

Hey Dtaib ~ looks good, I can promote the lite version since it’s free.

Also, if you weren’t planning on putting coins in your game don’t worry about it. I understand that a lot of games don’t have a virtual currency, you can just feature Blast Monkeys in a ‘More Games’ page or some other way.

Hey Angelo,

Sounds good. I’ll add a More Games button in the menu and leads to a screen. Let me know what you want to put on the page and the link and I’ll add that in quickly in the next build.

Heh angelo…

Okay I’ll put some code together for you guys, so all you have to do is call a function and a blast monkeys popup will open.

Also Jordan, sounds good, do you have a link to your game website?

Hi Angelo.

I am at the last stage of building our first game. The website is on the way. Drop me an email to piotr [at] blerdo.com and could talk about cross promotion.

Got it, sent you an e-mail too; I’ll send out e-mails again when the Blast Monkeys module is done.

I’m thinking of setting up a more automated ‘Corona Cross Promotion Network’ and corresponding module if this experiment goes well, and there is enough interest.

We’ll see…

Angelo,

My game is still in early development, so once it is done, ill contact you.
My website is ninjapigstudios.bloggspot.com [import]uid: 29181 topic_id: 9395 reply_id: 34569[/import]

#12

Okay thats fine, just let me know.

Okay guys, sorry I couldn’t get my act together fast enough~ things have changed a bit.

Blast Monkeys is doing *very* well on Android right now, which prompted to makers of Zoo Club to make another deal with me.

So that space isn’t available anymore, but what I *will* do is feature any of your Corona games in our in-game news feed, with a link to the market. No cross-promotion necessary.

Just send me an e-mail or post here with the market link and I’ll queue you up.

Thanks,

Awesome! My new game Debris Dodge is on the android market.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ninjapigstudios.debrisdodge&feature=search_result

Is there anyway you could queue me up? [import]uid: 29181 topic_id: 9395 reply_id: 35959[/import]

#15

Yeah I can put you in the news now, congrats on finishing your game!

Just for clarification, its not yet a completed game. It is just the demo. I’m currently working on the full version of the game for a school project. Thank you so much for making a reference to my game. I greatly appreciate it!

Okay you’re in the game now It’ll be interesting to see how many people download the game. Only ~4,000 ish people visit the news page a day. So at the very most I’d expect 40 downloads a day. But we’ll see right ? :slight_smile:

And like I said, I’ll do the same for anyone else, just post here or e-mail me. I want to change the featured game once or twice a week. To do that I need submissions!

Thanks,

Demos get more downloads anyway! I played it a bit, it seems a little lagged on my phone ~ my guess is that its the stars that are doing it. Also there seems to be a depth issue with them. How are you handling the stars? are they vector objects?

Great idea Yobonja,

I’ve recently published DroidPlex! - A Supaplex clone for Android.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.visualrealmsoftware.android.droidplex

Would appreciate any exposure you can give it.

Thanks

If it is Corona SDK, how did you get the hardware buttons working? Did I miss that in an update? I’m very curious.
