ABOUT US
Sploder, Flash Game Creator
Sploder is an internet web site for casual gaming. The site focuses around an interactive Flash game maker that allows users to make their own games. Gamers who come to play games are greeted with a plethora of games, all created by the users of the site. They can play games, vote on them, and then make and share their own games. The site also allows anyone to embed any game on third-party web sites using embed codes.
The Game
All of the games are based on a simple top-down shoot 'em up style game, which launches the custom game levels created by site members. The game world has many unique objects, each with their own behaviors and game rules. The game engine features dynamic physics, multiple weapon-types and game-play modes, artificial intelligence for
non-player characters, and stereo environmental sound.
The Creator
The game creator is an Adobe Flash-based application that features an intuitive drag-and-drop style workflow. Users can design the shape of the game playfield by moving the playfield edges and adding corners to the shapes. Next to the playfield is a large palette of over 30 different types of game objects. These include different kinds of powerups, obstacles, enemies and allies. Once a user places objects on the playfield, they can instantly test the game to see how it works. They can then save their game and, when they are ready, publish it to the site and share it for everyone to play.
The Web Site
The web site (www.sploder.com) was launched in January, 2007. As of June 2008, the site receives about 290,000 uniques and 1.2 million pageviews a month, growing at approximately 10% per month. Including embedded games, the game player is viewed over 750,000 times a month. There are currently over 75,0000 members and over 500 new games created each day. Sploder is in the top 10 Google search results for keyword “game maker” and “game creator.”
