Case study - Youdagames
Youdagames is large casual games portal with offices in the Netherlands and Macedonia. With a diverse portfolio of high production quality games including Flash, downloadable, console and mobile titles, Youdagames serves up to 1.8 million unique users per month, with over 700 affiliates in their distribution network. To better understand the millions of users playing Youdagames, they chose to partner with Playtomic.
Here's what Dennis Korf, their lead developer had to say:
Player progression
Player progression is crucial to the success of games. Steep drop-off rates will help designers identify the pain points of users. We helped Youdagames track numerous demo and pre-launch titles, including their hit game Youda Farmer, which generated tens of millions of plays. For survey and demo titles, Youdagames tested how long users would take to finish a level, and if the difficulty was right. It helped adjust the player learning curve before the real launch.
Heatmaps
We helped track player activity in a Youda Mystery : Stackwick Legacy, a hidden object-based game. The heat spectrum represents users' clicks searching for hidden items in each level. Youda's team also tracked the positions where the player would drag and drop items, helping them close the gap between designer expectation and real player behaviour.
Custom events
Playtomic will slice and dice any custom metric you hand to us. You get back highly visualized reports. Some of these include unique user flows, in-game menu activity, exits due to the preloader screen, language modes and upsell rates of demo versions. We literally helped Youdagames track thousands of event types across all their titles.

Friends, Playtomic has come to an end. Part of this service will live on at Playtomic.org as a self-hosted, open source platform I am continuing to develop in my spare time. The rest is unfortunately finished.
