Takeaways
Zombie IO is a mid-core game with complex gameplay and many features.
The game automates many aspects of gameplay, allowing players to watch and progress.
Rewarded ads are heavily integrated into the game, providing players with additional rewards.
The game monetizes through in-app purchases, including battle passes and other items.
The company behind the game, JoyNet Games, has a history of successful games, including Legend of Mushroom.
The game's potential for high revenue may be limited due to its mid-core nature and target audience.
The gacha system is used to obtain powerful equipment and items.
The game's ad placements are extensive, and players may watch multiple rewarded ads per session.
AdMob is the primary ad mediation platform used in the game, providing a better user experience compared to other platforms. The game 'Legend of Mushroom' uses various creative concepts in its ads, including the 'twisted blades' and 'sword' creatives.
Jakub emphasized (again) the importance of social features in driving player engagement and retention.
There is potential for improvement in the game's mediation stack, with the addition of more networks to increase ad revenue.
