SAN FRANCISCO – February 14, 2013 –
Everyplay®, the social video for mobile games network from
Applifier Ltd., announced today fast growth following a successful
initial launch and beta availability of a new FaceCam feature,
which enables players to share game replays with video and audio
commentary by themselves. Developers are invited to the private
beta of the new Everyplay SDK with FaceCam leading up to the public
launch expected in March.
Replay sharing has already grown quickly among players since the
Everyplay beta launch in December. In the hit mobile game Stair
Dismount, players recorded and shared over 10,000 video replays in
30 days. The most popular sharing destination was Facebook, where
an average of 15 friends watched each replay and 12% of clicked to
download the featured game from the App Store. Applifier has
created an infographic representing these early Everyplay beta
results, which can be viewed here:

“The ability to share replays was the biggest feature
missing from our game Stair Dismount,” said Jani Kahrama, CEO
of the Secret Exit. “Everyplay lets our players share the
comedy of the game with their friends and game fans.” To see

With the upcoming FaceCam feature, players will be able to add
personal video and audio messages to the replays – whether
it’s a greeting, a taunt, or a challenge – to friends
and game fans on Everyplay, and share replays to their favorite
social networks like Facebook. To see FaceCam in action, view an

“Mobile gamers are passionate about their games. With
Everyplay they can finally share that passion with their friends
and connect with other game fans in a meaningful way,” said
Jussi Laakkonen, founder & CEO of Applifier. “FaceCam
takes sharing to a new level. We are expanding from game replays to
players’ personal stories and enabling more meaningful
sharing.”
Everyplay® is a free service for developers and players, and
available for all iOS devices. If you want to be one of the first
