Features Overview
We Surface Quality, Not Noise.
PlayNexy isn't a generic store. It's a curated discovery platform built for indie developers and players seeking intentional gaming experiences. Our submission and ranking systems prioritize originality and technical craft over paid placement.

Decision Guide
How We Decide What Gets Featured
Standard app stores optimize for engagement loops and ad revenue. Our algorithm and curation team have a different north star: discovery. We surface games with strong cores but lower visibility, rewarding craftsmanship over virality.

Key Terms
- Indie Spotlight
- Our core algorithm. It weights creator revenue share and player retention over raw download count.
- Pre-Review
- A non-binding technical audit. It's a safety net for developers, catching 80% of rejection reasons before formal submission.
- Serendipity Slider
- A user-controlled filter. We think discovery should be a choice, not a broadcast.
- Feature Tiers
- Not "Platinum/Gold". Placement is based on fit, not payment. No one can buy a feature.
Common Submission Pitfalls
- • Cloning Hits: Games indistinguishable from existing Top 10 titles. Solution: Find a unique mechanic or narrative hook.
- • Unresponsive UI: Menus or buttons don't react on first tap. Solution: Test on multiple devices before submitting.
- • Vague Description: Failing to explain the core loop. Solution: Use our "Game Narrative" template in the portal.

Integrated Challenges
Developer-created micro-goals that unlock in-game rewards and community badges.

Game-Centric Feed

Organic discussion, not forced social.

A Transparent Submission Checklist
We publish our review criteria. You can't buy a feature, but you can improve your submission. Here's the exact path from your game file to our featured section.
1
Submit & Pre-Review
Upload your build. Our system generates a technical report (crash logs, load times) within 48 hours.
2
Iterate (If Needed)
Address critical issues noted in the report. This is optional but recommended; it's our free QA.
3
Human Curation
Our Berlin team plays, takes notes, and decides on placement. We provide a "Featured" or "Spotlight" recommendation.
| Criteria | PlayNexy | Typical App Store |
|---|---|---|
| Placement Fee | None | Often required |
| Review Feedback | Detailed Report | Binary (Pass/Fail) |
| Revenue Share | Flat 15% | 30% + hidden fees |
| Human Contact | Dedicated Reviewer | Automated System |
Trade-off: Speed vs. Visibility
Our curation is human-driven, which means review times are longer than automated systems (typically 1-2 weeks vs. 24-72 hours). In exchange, you get a thoughtful placement in a less crowded, higher-intent marketplace.
