MenuWhat analytics tool would you advise for a simple single player mobile game?
Flurry seems to be lagging and buggy. Any other suggestions?
Answers
There are three types of metrics that you want to collect.
1) Aggregate metrics
2) Cohort metrics
3) Funnel metrics
A tool like Flurry is OK for aggregate metrics. Google Analytics for mobile is probably the better choice depending on your needs.
For cohort and funnel metrics, I prefer using Mixpanel. And for tracking App installs I prefer Tapstream.
For a deeper dive into the above analytics types above, I recommend reading Lean Analytics by Alistair Croll and Ben Yoskovitz.
I would suggest different tools since there are different types of metrics you need to capture and there isn't an analytics tool out there that will capture all the date you need.
I would suggest using a combination of the tools role to start.
1) Google Analytics
2) Flurry
3) Game Analytics
I hope this helps.

I like Game Analytics, it's free too
but it's only for games to.
So it has all the metrics you need

How can I implement analytics on a hardware product that runs offline most of time?
What I usually do with my team is to store the data locally until the machine connects to the web and then push it to the cloud at that point. The data won't be live but at least it will appear once the PC is online. Makes sense?NC

For a funded gaming startup that is about to launch a social-mobile game, would you suggest to self-publish or go for a publishing deal?
I would suggest you self-publish. Let me break down the mobile game landscape for you in a single statement: *You can only grow a game if your LTV (Lifetime Value) is greater then your CPI (Cost Per Install).* I assure you, that once you have that formula successful, finding money to support continued growth of your game at extremely favorable terms to yourself is not going to be a problem. If you don't have success with the above formula, then it doesn't matter if you have a publisher, your game's not going to be able to grow and make money with them either. There are only 2 conditions which you should consider a game publisher: 1) You need money to complete the game. (ie, no way will the game exist unless you get the money.) 2) For specific geo locations, such as China where there are people who can properly localize and market the game. That's it. I believe there is no grey area here and I've had experience on both sides of the table, including being the first 3rd party publisher signed by Zynga. The latest game I built is currently in the top 100 grossing chart (Cookie Jam) and it's there because we have successfully cracked the formula above. Its quite simple, but really difficult to achieve. Good luck! -Michael.MW

What are the best ad networks to use in my mobile game for great ROI?
I guess the best answer is, it depends. What kind of mobile game are you marketing? Who are you targeting? For what platform? (iOS, Android?) Different ad networks work better than others depending on the type of game. A good place to start would be MoPub, MDotM, Manage, and Insight.JS
