Amazon GameOn connects players through friendly competition, but it can also bring developers and brands together in a unique way to engage their audience and reach new customers.

Mindstorm integrated Amazon GameOn into Word Fiends to easily run tournaments with real-world prizes each weekend and saw a huge spike in engagement and monetization.

With benefits like increasing user engagement and retention, it may be an easy decision to incorporate organized competition in your mobile game. But it’s harder to know where to start.
 

We're excited to share that GameOn released another update this week. We've added additional reporting in the console so you can ultimately determine the popularity of your competitions and the level of player engagement.

In this post, I will demonstrate how to craft your first API calls with the tool Postman. Postman is a tool for developing and testing APIs, and is available as a Windows, Mac, or Linux native client for free at https://www.getpostman.com.

We wanted to learn about the current sentiment and behavior around competitive mobile gaming among Amazon Appstore developers. So, we surveyed a pool of 1,290 U.S.-based developers published on the Amazon Appstore to get their thoughts.

On May 8, we released a security update to Amazon GameOn. One of the developer requests we addressed in this update is to provide both a standard and an advanced security model.  

We're bringing back Mobile Masters, an esports tournament where both casual and pro mobile game players compete side-by-side for a $100,000 prize pool.
