Design Elements
Once you've picked the game it's time to get started with the creative part - the branding.
This is where you can add your custom design to your Game. Each Game has between 5-20 different brandable elements including the background, players, obstacles and enemies. Use your favorite design tool to help create the different elements for the game. Then simply drag and drop your assets into Studio and the game is instantly updated.
Make sure to use the correct image sizes and file formats. Different Games may have different requirements for the image size needed for the game to function correctly.
The required image sizes and formats are listed under each image name—just follow these guidelines to ensure your visuals look great. You can either upload images or drag and drop them directly, and any changes will show up instantly in the preview window.
In many of our games, you can also use spritesheets to create animations
There is also the possibility to brand the screens and buttons before and after your game so don't forget to add some creativity to those as well.
Lastly, be mindful of contrast when designing. Ensure that objects and pickups stand out clearly against the background to keep gameplay smooth and visually engaging.
Parallax Effects
Some games offer the option to add a parallax effect—a layered setup where images move at different speeds within the game. This effect adds depth and visual interest, making the game environment feel more dynamic and immersive.
Since the image will loop, make sure both ends align seamlessly for a smooth transition. Pay attention to how different layers interact with each other; if you want something, like a logo or product, to remain visible at all times, place it on a layer that won’t be covered by the front layer.
Our top tip is to test thoroughly—play through the game a few times after uploading your images to confirm that everything looks good, loops well, and achieves the effect you want.
Web Page Background Image
TheWeb Page Background Image is placed behind your game when it’s viewed in a web browser, offering an additional opportunity to enhance your branding. Some brands use this space to display a logo next to the game or to extend the game’s visual world across the entire screen, creating a more engaging experience.
If your game is likely to be played in a web browser, be sure to upload an image for theWeb Page Background to make the most of this branding opportunity.
Spritesheets
A spritesheet is a single image that combines multiple images. In supported games, spritesheets allow you to alternate objects during gameplay or create animations, adding vibrant movement and life to your game.
To create a spritesheet, arrange your design assets in a row, side by side, without any spacing between them. Just be sure to check that the game supports spritesheets—this information will always be noted in the description under the image title.
For animated spritesheets, ensure that each frame aligns smoothly with the next to create a seamless animation effect.
