Since we launched one of the most requested features was to let you customize which genre shows up on your site’s Heyzap games player. Today we went live with the feature. So now if you want to get just sports games or “Strategy and Puzzle” games you can do just that.
In the publisher’s new site creation section you can limit the type of games in the player to fit better with you site. Here is the category customization screen to show you how simple it now is to customize Heyzap however you want it.
This brings the power of thousands of games to your blog. We have it installed on this blog, some of the other blogs that have the plugin in the wild (completely unaffiliated with Heyzap!):
A lot of users were installing on blogs so we decided to make it even easier to install on Wordpress and Blogger blogs. If you want to track all the game plays and customize further you can add your site to Heyzap through heyzap.com/publishers/new_site.
Xavier from Hyveup popped around to the Heyzap offices to get the low down on what we are making at Heyzap and talk to the founders. He has some great interviews on his blog, you should check them out!
We have had a very busy weekend at Heyzap. Its been an amazing response since our launch. We have added some of the other press we received to heyzap.com/docs/press, will keep that up to date.
One of the major request we got was for a medium sized version of our widget, so we made one that is 425px by 344px. This brings the game up on the page in a lightbox. The medium size widget can be added through heyzap.com/publishers/new_site or if you want the code without creating a site (no tracking) then here it is:
We would like to say hi to all our new users. We are here to make it easy to embed games anywhere on the Internet. We look forward to hearing from you, all ideas, questions and feedback more than welcome.
Lots of news to come as we develop the site and release new features. For now, go back to Heyzap.com and have some fun!
