While we’re primarily supported by a mixture of Patreon, Twitch subscriptions and Amazon referrals these days, site sponsors go a long way in making up for the funding shortfalls of our Patreon never reaching its goal. To show our appreciation, we are now publishing these posts thanking our sponsors each week- Both to give them a little extra visibility and hopefully to get readers who love TouchArcade to give their games a look to similarly support their efforts in allowing us to continue to provide everyone with awesome third party mobile games editorial which the App Store ecosystem badly needs.
PUBG is taking over everything, and Wizard Games sponsored the podcast this week for Guns Royale (Free) which is the closest thing we’ve seen to PUBG so far on the App Store. Minecraft-y graphics combined with a core game mode that’s absolutely red hot right now is a total winning combination. Be sure to check out Guns Royale.
McPeppergames is running ads with us for Color Fence (Free) which is their newly released color fencing puzzle game. It’s totally free to play and has a bunch of different color themes you can unlock while solving puzzles. Check out the trailer above to see the game in action.
A new entry in our sidebar rotation is from Bitty Blip for Connectron (Free). It’s a reflex-based retro-inspired arcade game of touching shapes and dragging lines to prevent orbs from exploding. There’s 21 levels in all with 10 geoshapes that must be completed on each, loads of in-game items, leaderboards, and tons more. Best of all, it’s free.
For developers out there, give Appodeal a look. They’ve been running ads in our sidebar for a really long time now, and what they provide is a platform for intelligently serving ads using one SDK which connects to over 35 different ad networks. While I’ve never used it myself, I’ve heard horror stories from developers on what a nightmare it can be juggling all the different ad networks to display ads in game. Appodeal simplifies all that, giving you more time to work on your game instead of figuring out how to implement one more ad network. Additionally, their service is totally free to use.
Ketchapp is practically a household name now, but even if you haven’t heard of Ketchapp specifically, chances are you have a few of their games on your phone. Their most recent title is Hop (Free), but Ballz (Free) and Fidget Spinner (Free) have both been glued to the top of the charts for what feels like forever. Ketchapp has been running ads in our sidebar for a super long time now, and we appreciate their continued support.
Thanks a ton to our sponsors this week, as well as all of our community members who continue to support us. Combined, you all allow us to keep doing what we’re doing. If there’s any developers, publishers, or folks from third party services that might appeal to iOS developers who are curious about sponsorship opportunities here at TouchArcade, reach out to our ad sales manager, Marianne, at [email protected]. We have a lot of different options which can fit any budget.
