The Challenge
KAYAC had experience producing social games in Japan but wanted to try something new by developing hyper-casual games with global appeal.
With a small game development team of five, the team behind Park Master needed a set of integrated solutions. They wanted to expand profitably beyond the Japanese market by optimizing monetization and automating user acquisition.
The Solution
KAYAC implement AppLovin’s integrated solutions
KAYAC integrate MAX, and instantly drive an ARPDAU lift. While continuously A/B testing to improve LTV and get higher revenue, they are able to automate user acquisition efforts with AppDiscovery.
