Configuration Playable Creation : Mob Control

1. APK (Mob Control.apk):

  • The APK file is the core game asset. Uploading Mob Control.apk ensures that the playable ad accurately represents your game.

2. Application Name (Mob Control):

  • The application name is automatically populated based on the uploaded APK. It’s crucial for consistency and brand recognition across platforms.

3. Playable Name (My First InstantPlayable with Mob Control):

  • The playable name serves as a user-friendly identifier : “My First InstantPlayable with Mob Control”.

4. Payable Ad Maximum Duration (30 seconds):

  • The 30-second duration is strategically chosen for optimal user acquisition. It strikes a balance between showcasing essential gameplay and maintaining user engagement, aligning with industry best practices.

5. Splashscreen Duration (10 seconds):

  • A 10-second splash screen duration is implemented to provide a brief introduction, allowing users to bypass initial screens and jump directly into level 1. This enhances the overall user experience and encourages interaction.

6. Preview Orientation (Portrait/Landscape):

  • Supporting both Portrait and Landscape orientations ensures compatibility with various devices, accommodating a broader audience and enhancing the ad’s reach.

7. Preview:

  • The note “Generate preview may take time” indicates the system’s effort to produce an accurate preview. Patience during this phase ensures a reliable representation of your playable ad. Note that the CTA after 30 seconds is not visible in the preview.

8. Apple Store URL:

9. Google Play Store URL:

10. Save Playable:

  • Once all configurations are in place, click “Save Playable” to generate the interactive ad file. This action finalizes your settings and initiates the process of creating your playable ad.

Each field in the configuration is purposefully filled to optimize user acquisition, streamline the user journey, and adhere to industry standards. This well-rounded approach ensures a compelling and effective playable ad for your game, Mob Control. Don’t forget to save your settings to complete the process. The CTAs (8 and 9) become active after 30 seconds, leading users to their respective app stores. Note: The CTA is not visible in the preview; it activates during the actual user interaction.

Post-Save Playable: Need Validation

After clicking “Save Playable,” you transition to the “Need Validation” stage. This crucial step involves our technical team meticulously inspecting your APK configuration to ensure seamless deployment in our cloud. The validation process encompasses bandwidth considerations, frame rate optimization, and overall quality assessment.

Our commitment to delivering top-notch playable ads means that our team may reach out to you during this phase. This communication aims to verify that the configuration aligns with your expectations and strategic goals for user attraction. Your input and collaboration in this validation process ensure that the final playable ad meets and exceeds your user acquisition objectives.

Your active participation in this validation stage contributes to the overall success of your campaign and maximizes its effectiveness in attracting users to your application.

Additionally, if you wish to revisit the setup for further review, please note that only the “Preview” action is available at this stage. This allows you to preview the playable ad and gain a firsthand experience of the user interaction.
