Agent parameters

Status fields
- Received
- Demo is saved and has a reference. It's waiting for an agent slot.
- Agent testing
- Agents are running the build. Metrics and the AI report fill in as runs complete.
- In rotation
- The build is stable and appears in the 24/7 arena. Audience interactions count toward rank.
- Ranked
- The game has enough data for a stable public rank in its category.
- Publishing
- A category leader. The managed team is preparing channel materials and rollout.
- Revise & resubmit
- No publishing slot this round. Comments and heat stay on record, so revise and resubmit.
- Not accepted
- Not accepted for rotation, usually because the build was unplayable or broke the content policy.
Ranking rules
rank_score = 0.6 × playtest + 0.4 × audience
playtest = 100 × (0.45 × clear_rate + 0.25 × min(1, session / 240s)
+ 0.20 × min(1, d1_retention / 50%) + 0.10 × (1 − crash / 5%))
audience = 100 × (1 − e^(−(likes + 3 × comments + 2 × tips) / 450))
Only games in rotation, ranked or publishing are ranked. Audience score has diminishing returns, so a large existing fanbase can't buy the top spot. See the live results on the leaderboard.
FAQ
Do I pay for users or ads?+
No. Playcloud never asks you to fund user acquisition. Membership tiers differ by testing capacity and support, not by visibility you buy.
Does Playcloud take revenue share?+
Playcloud receives 20% of actual net revenue from managed publishing; developers receive 80%. Developers accept these terms before uploading a build. Statements are recorded from provider reports; this site does not initiate payouts.
What if my game doesn't rank?+
You keep the full record: comments, likes, tips and the AI report. Revise from that and resubmit as many times as you like.
Are the viewers real?+
Viewer counts are shown only while a match is on air. Comments, likes and tips are stored exactly as sent. There's no invented audience.
Is my build private?+
Your demo URL is shown only on your game page and to Playcloud reviewers. You can withdraw a submission at any time.
Which engines are supported?+
Anything that runs in a mobile web view: Cocos, Phaser, PixiJS, Unity WebGL, Godot HTML5, or plain canvas.
