Marketing

 

In here you can decide what happens in terms of your marketing and publishing settings.

Engage your audience

In this section, you can decide what should happen after the game is played by your target audience. So basically this happens when the game is over. Game Over typically happens after a timer has run out or a player collided with a hazard.

Nothing

When you opt for nothing. The player’s score and the current game will be displayed – as well as a restart button to the game can be played again.

Forwarder

The forwarder lets you forward your players to a certain website. Just type in yourwebsite.com/landingpage and players will be redirected to exactly that page.

 

iFrame

What is an iFrame?

An iframe (Inline Frame) is an HTML element that allows you to embed another HTML document inside the current HTML document on a webpage. An iframe can be used to display a range of content such as videos, images and other webpages.

How to use it

This section lets you implement an HTML page directly into the game. Again this will be displayed immediately after the game is over. Simply select “iFrame” and copy/paste your desired iFrame code into the field beneath.

 

URL Parameters

When using forwarder and iFrame as your marketing weapon of choice you can add parameters to your link to pass them to your website or use them inside the embedded iFrame page. Use {{ps_game}} and/or {{ps_score}} as Placeholder for the name of your game and/or the user’s score.

Example:

So if you put the following forward-link in a game called “yourgame” and the user collects “5” points:
yourcompany.com/?game={{ps_game}}&userscored={{ps_score}}

Players will be redirected to this link:
https://yourcompany.com/?game=yourgame&userscored=5

 You can now use those GET-Paramaters in your Application.

If you add other parameters to the generated link these will be automatically passed on to your forward-link.

So if you share the game with the ID 123 and add your own tracking info these parameters will be passed on to your forward link:
https://app.pixelshakes.com/gameviewer.php?gameid=123&campaign=pixelshakes&userid=123456789
users will be redirected to:
https://yourcompany.com/?campaign=pixelshakes&userid=123456789

To use these paramaters, as a string, inside an iframe/HTML-Code use the placeholder {{ps_urlparams}}.

We do not parse, process or save the information passed. It is your responsibility to configure your application correct.
If you use these codes to track your users outside of your application you are required to inform them and handle their information according to applyable privacy laws.
