Heyzap – Flash Game Publisher

Heyzap Heyzap is a new Flash game publisher that provides game developers with an easy method for creating and sharing their games using blog and social media friendly widgets. If you have a Flash game you can create your widget by uploading your SWF to their website, specify a name, description, width and height and then just waiting for your game to get approved by Heyzap. I tested their dashboard and it is really simple and easy to use, but the statistics features seemed to only have the number of times a game played without any graphs for trends, referrals, or any other advanced stats.

Heyzap is also partnering up with MochiMedia, which lets Flash game developers monetize their games, so that advertisements served through this network can be viewable through the Heyzap widgets.

If you are interested in creating some widgets for your Flash games then maybe you should check out them.

Hi Blue,

Glad you like Heyzap. We are working on a new Wordpress plugin in the works, would be good to get it on here if you like it :).

Update: Advanced stats coming soon. High on our priority list!

Thanks for the write up.

Nice to hear that you guys are working on advanced stats.

We will surely talk about the new plugin when it comes out.

Good luck with Heyzap!

The widget is dinky and easily overlooked. It would be nice if it would expand into the larger version when clicked using the same lightbox effect it uses for the games. I'd like the ability to match the color scheme of the widget to my blog. It does work well though.
