Playable Factory launches HTML5 Games service
Playable Factory, an intelligent marketing platform for mobile games, is today announcing the launch of H5 Games, a creative service that recreates successful mobile games in HTML5, for use on platforms such as TikTok and Snap.
Following the introduction of Apple’s app tracking transparency (ATT), mobile studios and publishers are increasingly exploring additional revenue streams beyond the Apple App Store and Google Play. Many of these social and web platforms use HTML5 gaming content. However, the process of taking games made with Unity and creating high-quality HTML5 versions has been fraught with challenges. Exporting games from Unity to HTML5 fails to capture the full glory of the original, with low quality visuals, performance issues, and prohibitive file sizes.
Here come H5 Games
H5 Games solves this issue for mobile games companies that don’t have the expertise, capacity or resources to create stunning HTML5 games in-house. The new service is a natural progression for Playable Factory, which has already produced more than 1,000 HTML5 playable ads for over 500 mobile games studios, coding faithful representations of the full games to drive user acquisition. Early adopters of H5 Games include companies like Madbox.
Gökçe Nur Oguz, CEO and Co-Founder of Playable Factory, commented:
“For too long, the mobile games industry has put up with low rent HTML5 solutions for Unity games. This has come into much sharper focus as user acquisition has become more challenging on iOS and greater numbers of companies look to publish their games on multiple platforms. As a company with years of creative and technical experience, and one of the best HTML5 development teams in the business, we chose to step up to the plate. We’re thrilled to be launching a service that will ensure mobile games retain their original quality of experience across all platforms.”
Paul-César Elie, Head of Finance & Partnerships, Madbox, said:
“At Madbox we are genuine content makers. We aim to offer unique gaming experiences to all our players. HTML5 is for us a great leverage to share our games on a wide range of platforms. The expertise of Playable Factory on HTML5 and the quality of their production is key to support Madbox ambition in this regard.”
Playable Factory’s development teams have experience with runner, shooter, RPG, puzzle, word, idle, simulation, card, match3, merge, casual, and hyper-casual mechanics. H5 Games’ optimised file sizes ensure that images and animations are as good as the original game, regardless of genre.

10-15% Of Gamers In Florida Show Signs Of Gaming Addiction: Here Are 10 Signs Your Kid Is Suffering From It (And How You Can Help)
Recent studies indicate that 10-15% of young gamers in Florida exhibit signs of gaming addiction. These findings underscore the need for early identification of symptoms to prevent negative impacts on children’s mental and physical health. Gaming addiction, if not dealt with, can lead to poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and even health problems.
Marin Cristian-Ovidiu, CEO of FreezeNova, discusses key indicators of gaming addiction and offers practical advice for parents.
Recognizing Early Signs
“Early recognition of gaming addiction is crucial in preventing long-term negative outcomes,” Marin explains. The following signs can help parents identify if their child might be developing an addiction:
Exhaustion and Irritability
Constant tiredness and grumpiness during the day could indicate late-night gaming sessions interfering with sleep.
Gaming Obsession
If gaming dominates your child’s thoughts and conversations, and they plan their day around it while neglecting other responsibilities, it could be a sign of addiction.
Decline in Academic Performance and Lost Interests
A noticeable decline in academic performance or loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities may suggest your child is prioritizing gaming over more important tasks.
Emotional Volatility
Extreme emotional reactions to in-game outcomes, such as uncontrolled anger, known as ‘Gamer Rage’, or intense celebrations, could indicate an unhealthy attachment to gaming.
Physical Strain
Signs of repetitive strain injuries like ‘Gamer’s Thumb’ or ‘Nintendo Neck’ from prolonged screen time are warning signals.
Neglecting Basic Needs
If your child is neglecting basic needs like eating, sleeping, or hygiene to keep playing, gaming has likely taken an unhealthy control over their life.
Creating a Supportive Environment
While video games can be a great source of entertainment and connection, around 70% of people with signs of gaming addiction also experience social disorders. Marin recommends a few tips for building a supportive and open environment for your child.
Teamwork and Setting Boundaries
“Parents and children should work together to create a healthy gaming environment. Gaming addiction requires a holistic approach,” Marin advises. Start by setting clear boundaries on gaming time to ensure there’s room for schoolwork, chores, and quality family time.
Revisit activities your child once loved, like football practice or exploring new hobbies together. It’s vital for your child to take breaks from screens, so create a balanced daily routine that includes homework, chores, exercise and just some gaming time. This allows your child to enjoy their games without neglecting other aspects of their life.
Open Communication
Maintain open communication. Discuss the games your child enjoys and any concerns you might have. By understanding their world, you can work together to find solutions.
Remember, you’re not alone. If you feel overwhelmed, seek professional help from specialists in gaming addiction. Marin concludes, “By working as a team, setting clear boundaries, and fostering open communication, we can help your child develop a healthy relationship with gaming and thrive in all areas of life.”
