Longer Playtimes and New Social Boosts

This week, our creators released 1,471 new games and the product team dove into experiments with longer playtimes: 10 minutes, 30 minutes, and a whole hour. Previously, we focused on quick hits such as 6 seconds, 30 seconds, and 1 minute. Now, we're stretching things out to see what really keeps players hooked for the long haul.

As usual, we're throwing all these new formats at our friendly streamers for test runs. This approach allows us to fine-tune the experience and make sure players are having a blast before we send these games out into the wild.

Gameplay is the king, but adding some social juice can really amp things up. This time, we've introduced mushroom boosters that streamers can grant to their fellow players. They can switch up their skins and get a speed boost, adding an extra layer of fun to the experience. And that boosts us as well.
