About the GameSnacks Developer console

The GameSnacks Developer console is a simple-to-use tool that allows developers to easily upload, host, and distribute their games on the GameSnacks platform. GameSnacks offers developers the flexibility to distribute their games globally to users on Google and non-Google surfaces.

Key concepts

• Game: A game consists of game assets (image, video, and audio files) and visual assets (icons, banners, screenshots, and trailers).
• Release: A game can have multiple, versioned releases.

Game development lifecycle

1. Code: You code your H5 game and its game.json configuration file. Refer to the GameSnacks Developer SDK documentation for information on how to link your game with GameSnacks.
2. Create: You create the resources for your game and place them with the code and game.json file in a local directory on your development workstation.
3. Upload: You upload your game files and assets to the Developer console.
4. Test: You test your game using the event logs provided in the Developer console.
5. Publish: You request that your game is published. GameSnacks reviews and tests your game. If it passes all our checks it's approved and we make your game available to distribution partners.
