    ‘Captain Corgi’ Explores Puzzle Planets Inspired by Classic Stories
    Captain Corgi: Planetary Problem Solver takes a pair of helpful puzzle-solving dogs on adventures across planets inspired by fairy tales. All dogs want to be good boys, but in this game, you take helping people to the next level as you explore different planets in the galaxy. A lot of these planets and their stories are based on classic story books which you may already know. Captain Corgi: Planetary Problem Solver isn’t a very long game, but you will have some puzzles to solve and some problems to try to fix along the way. Sometimes, you might not even be fixing a problem anyone has presented to you, but instead, you’ll be following rumors of the town in an attempt to find an issue and then fix it. The characters within this game are a little… quirky, with their own personalities and suggestions on how you can help. You are also not alone either – your brother Lem is trying to help you with your quest. The cutscenes where he is talking logically and you are ignoring him are quite funny, giving a good break from problem solving! I got the chance to play the first chapter at The Mix, where I enjoyed this twist on Little Red Riding Hood (who maybe didn’t even need my help after all). Flying through the galaxy is also fun, as your ship sort of sails on a wave of time, making its way to new areas and new planets that might-maybe-probably have some sort of problem for you to solve. Captain Corgi: Planetary Problem Solver doesn’t take itself too seriously, and that’s where a lot of the fun is. It’s a little narative game that feels full of silly moments and adventure while somehow being slightly familiar in the stories that you are trying to put yourself into. Captain Corgi: Planetary Problem Solver is currently in development, but in the meantime, you can add it to your Steam Wishlist. About The Author

    Spotlight on mobile game growth: 2024 customer successes and insights
    2024 was a monumental year for studios of all sizes in the gaming and app industry. Our customer stories highlight the achievements of these studios, while our industry reports and trend pieces provide data-driven insights to help studios of all sizes inform their growth strategies.Let’s dive into the customer success stories, reports, and articles that helped shape the state of game growth throughout this past year. Reports and trends:We tapped into a wealth of data to compile 2024’s reports, trends, tips, and thought leadership from Unity experts, to help inform game or app growth strategies.The 2024 Mobile Growth and Monetization ReportAdapting to market and industry changes is challenging, but understanding trends and benchmarks for user acquisition (UA), in-app purchases (IAPs), and in-app advertising (IAA) can help teams optimize and grow their games.In 2024, we found that global ad engagement increased 3.2% year-over-year. Since economic challenges make it difficult for some users to pay for IAPs, ads offer a great alternative to access in-game content, making them valuable to both the player and the studio alike. The report also shows that users who engage with offerwalls have 2–7x higher retention than non-offerwall users.Mobile gaming trends in 2024In January, we published our top trends for mobile gaming in 2024 and had Unity experts weigh in on what they thought would be the biggest opportunities this year. We discussed everything from how AI can improve creativity, the rise of hybrid-casual games, puzzle genre’s year of continued success, and more. Even if they are 2024 predictions – many of these trends we’ll see well into 2025.Advertisers playbook to win the 2024 holiday seasonUnity surveyed 4,094 U.S. adults aged 18+ to uncover insights that can help your brand land on the nice list this year. With many having more downtime over the holiday season, 37% of Gen Z expect to increase their playtime during the holidays, while 29% of Millennials feel the same way – with 13% of respondents saying they’ll likely play for 5 or more hours a day, making the holidays a prime season to engage with players.Helpful tips for sustained app growth:Implementing ads without cannibalizing subscription conversionsAs premium subscription service apps expand their business models to include ad-based tiers, they must implement ads strategically to avoid cannibalizing subscription conversions. We dove into how a subscription based app might go about this, by strategically using various ad formats, and segmenting users based on factors like region, mobile device model, and more.Addressing addressability: How brand marketers can adapt their mobile programmatic strategyATT and cookie deprecation signifies more than just a technological shift – it challenges mobile advertising marketers to adapt their strategies to reach consumers in-app. By leveraging first-party data, exploring alternative ID solutions, and segmenting non-addressable users based on contextual information, marketers can be successful in this new environment.How Nexters increase ad engagement by 73% with Unity’s ad consultancy teamNexters partnered with Unity’s ad consultancy team to optimize their rewarded video placement strategy for their hit game, Hero Wars. By implementing their recommendations, Nexters saw a 73% increase in engagement rate, and 59% increase in daily engaged users. See how the teams collaborated on strategy to get these winning results.Customer success stories:Discover the studios that soared to new heights over the last year.User Acquisition success stories:Kwalee improves D0 Ad Revenue ROAS by 22% with Unity AdsKwalee’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of what's possible in gaming and their team of skilled professionals, like Head of Growth Alexey Gusev, are key to bringing great players to fun games. Gusev shares how his team used D0 Ad Revenue ROAS campaigns from Unity Ads to boost profits and expand to new markets.How Lihuhu increased average install CVR by 15% (and ARPDAU by 10%!)In a competitive mobile genre like match-three, how can a studio rise to the top? By identifying the right type of user acquisition (UA) campaign optimization, providing rewarded ads to help player progression, and leaning into in-app bidding, Lihuhu created a continuous cycle of game growth in order to reach the top of the match-three genre.How Audiomack uses Unity LevelPlay to scale up globallyWe sat down with Dave Edwards, Chief Revenue Officer at Audiomack, to learn how working with the team at Unity LevelPlay helped them scale efficiently in global markets with tools like the Unity Ads bidder and A/B testing tool.Monetization success stories:How Pocket FM boosted revenue 20%Pocket FM Corp., a studio known for its popular audiobook app Pocket FM, wanted to monetize their non-paying users and decided to implement a hybrid monetization strategy. We met with Sujit Jha, their Senior Product Manager to understand how incorporating ad formats and the offerwall (a rewarded marketplace) into their app successfully boosted both their revenue and retention by 20%.How LBC Studios boosted ARPDAU 37%LBC Studios sought to boost revenue for their hit game, Hempire, and partnered with the Unity LevelPlay team to optimize their rewarded video strategy and A/B test video capping rates. Gene Park, Director of Marketing at LBC Studios shares how they boosted ARPDAU by 37%.Qcplay increased ad ARPDAU 29%Qcplay’s idle-RPG game, Super Snail, needed further ad monetization optimization and user engagement in order to grow efficiently. We met with Yifei Wang, Operation Manager, at Qcplay to understand how the Unity Ads bidder helped increase ad ARPDAU by 29%.How OK Cashbag boosted revenue with Unity LevelPlay and the Tapjoy offerwallOK Cashbag had two goals for their app: build a more comprehensive monetization strategy while maintaining, and even improving, their users’ experience.

By implementing the Message to Earn feature on the offerwall, iOS revenue increased by 9x, and Android by 2x.How King drove incremental scale with Daily Rewards, exceeding their D7 ROAS goal by 1.5xHaving used the Tapjoy from Unity offerwall for several years, King was seeking to further optimize the channel to drive incremental scale and ROAS. The team turned to Tapjoy’s Daily Rewards CPE campaigns to help drive user engagement, and in turn, boosting their D7 ROAS goal.How Lotte Members boosted ad revenue and increased eCPM 10xHyohun Jung, Team Leader, Digital Marketing Business Team at Lotte Members, explains how implementing the offerwall maximized their monetization strategy, boosting ad revenue 20x and increasing eCPM 10x.Programmatic success stories:In the competitive world of advertising, making your brand stand out and drive engagement can be challenging.
