Our new dog breed photo game and cat breed photo game are huge hits. In the last week they’ve averages 144 pages per visits with session lengths averaging 32 minutes for a total of 1,250,000 pages leading to a bounce rate 6.34%!

An important less is that for years we knew such a game would be popular, but whenever we spec’ed it out it would always get bogged down in trying to include advanced game mechanics which required complicated data storing mechanisms. Simply put we didn’t want to make a game unless it was the coolest we could imagine, yet we never had the resources. We ended up backing into this one thanks to an internal challenge of what’s the simplest game we could make that would still be fun to play. Simplicity is also rife with failure as there is a very fine line between something having just enough to make it work, and not enough and it sucks. A very fine line indeed.

Here’s a screen shot of the game:

(I told you it was a simple game ;)

Here’s our first entry about the games.
