April Developer Shoutout
Each month we want to give kudos to our developer community. Mobile games development is a fine balance between designing the best games, keeping players happy and paying the bills. We get it. These are the developers pioneering the use of immersive ads in their games and reaping the monetization uplift rewards. We salute you!
Umpire’s Call
Studio: Impact Unified
Genre: Sport
OS: Android & IOS
Umpire’s Call is a perfect showcase of how InGamePlay ads can authentically fit in a sports game. The game is a unique twist on the standard cricket game, where the player takes on the role of the umpire. The ads placed on billboards around the ground blend seamlessly into the game environment and add to the atmosphere Impact Unified wants to create. As their CSO Hannes Hultgren brilliantly quoted at a recent Pocketgamer session: “AdInMo ads don’t piss off our players!”
