Analytics and player feedback
The numbers you can see, how plays are counted, and how feedback reaches you.
What you can see
Your dashboard shows each of your games with its status. Once a game is live, it also shows its total plays and likes. Your game's page shows players the number of plays today, this week and all time.
How plays are counted
We want the numbers to be honest, so a play only counts when someone really plays:
- the game must run for more than 30 seconds, with its tab visible;
- our server keeps track of the time, so a browser can't claim a play that didn't happen;
- each visitor counts once per game every 30 minutes;
- known bots are ignored.
Likes and dislikes
Logged-in players can like or dislike your game on its page and on game cards. These feed the Highest Rated sort, and help us recommend your game to people with similar tastes.
Player feedback
Players can report problems with the flag icon under your game, or through the Contact panel. They can tell us if the game won't load, has a bug, has lost their progress or has inappropriate content.
This feedback comes to us, not straight to you. There's no feedback page on the dashboard yet. If players report a problem, we'll pass on what's useful.
How games are ranked
- Most Popular ranks games by total plays.
- Hot Games ranks games by plays in the last 24 hours.
- Highest Rated ranks games by their share of likes, adjusted so that one or two votes can't top the list.
- Can't Stop Playing on the home page ranks games by how often people come back, and how long they play.
- Top Picks For You is worked out for each player, from what they like, save and play.
- Featured Games are chosen by us.
Only games at Full launch appear in the home page rows.
Your own analytics
If you add analytics to your game, you must tell players, follow UK GDPR and get consent where the law requires it. Your game mustn't set cookies or collect personal data without that. See the Developer Terms.
