Social Features
Quickly add them with just a few lines of code
Games are more fun when you enjoy them with friends. With Platogo, adding social features like friends scores, achievements and challenges to your game is extremely easy.
Read on, because all those fancy game enhancements are just some button clicks and a few lines of code away.
The Social Bar
The Platogo Social Bar is the place where all the fun is happening. Your users can access all social features you've added to your game. Users can directly interact with the Social Bar in order to buy items, compare highscores, send challenges and more.
There's no need for you to create custom graphical user interfaces inside your games - everything just works, right out of the box. You can still create your own GUIs if that's more to your liking as we provide an extensive API that you can tap into.
The social features in detail
Platogo helps you to make your game spread like wildfire on social networks. Our Social Bar is a great tool to boost the virality of your game. But see for yourself:
High Scores
Playing games with friends is a lot funnier then playing alone. With the Platogo friends score, every user will automatically play and compete with his real friends. Of course there is also a global highscore for ambitious gamers. In the High Score API article we'll show you how easy it is to integrate Platogo high scores into your games.
Challenges
Users can challenge their friends to beat their high scores in your games. Best of all: you won't need to do anything at all to make this work. Our Social Bar will automatically enable users to send challenges to their friends based on the scores they've submitted recently. This greatly increases the virality of your games by encouraging players to invite their friends back and also share their success stories when they win a challenge.
Achievements
Use achievements to reward your users for completing game-specific tasks. The assigned achievement points offer the gamers an incentive to play your game longer and more often. In the Achievement API article we'll help you to quickly get up and running with Platogo Achievements.
User-generated content
Your game has a level editor? Great! Platogo has a strong focus on user-generated content and community gaming, so we especially love games that take advantage of Platogo's unique features. Have a look at the Content API article and you'll notice that working with the Platogo LevelService is a breeze and gives you possibilities not to be found anywhere else.
... and more!
Platogo provides even more tools and APIs that you can use to enhance your games. Save the player's progress using our User Data API and encrypt important variables to make it hard to hack your games.
