Hothead, Zynga, Space Ape, 5th Planet and Pixowl amongst those F2P companies incentivising big on Black Friday

So it's Black Friday and everyone is looking for a bargain, even F2P mobile gamers.

We can get an insight of which game publishers are really keen to suck up those gamers and push their successful products even more by looking at the promotions that are currently running through incentivised actions platform Tapjoy.

The reason I say these are "successful products" is that it's unlikely that a company would be spending big to push a game that they know they're not monetising well, whereas if you have a profitable game, the only barrier to printing more money is access to new users.

And that's what Tapjoy is supplying.

Download targets

So with that in mind, the companies and games that are bigging it up for Black Friday include

  • Avengers Alliance, Nemo's Reef, and My Muppets Show, Disney
  • Ayakashi: Ghost Guild, Zynga
  • Battle Camp, PennyPop
  • Big Win sports and Rivals at War games, Hothead Games
  • Dragons: Rise of Berk, Family Feud, The Flinstones and Jurassic Park Builder, Ludia
  • Legacy of a Thousand Suns, 5th Planet Games
  • Respawnables, Digital Legends
  • Samurai Siege, Space Ape Games
  • The Sandbox, Pixowl

Let's see if any of them shoot up the download charts over the next week.
