Let's explore the standard methods used in the hamster run genre.
+ +In-App Purchases (IAPs): The Core Strategy +
The most direct form of monetization is in-app purchases. Players can use real money to acquire various things: + +Hard Currency: A premium currency that is difficult to earn through normal gameplay. This is typically used to buy premium cosmetics or to speed up timers. +Currency Bundles: Packages of the soft in-game currency, allowing players to quickly afford items without grinding. +Limited-Time Deals: Value-packed bundles offered to new players, often containing a combination of items and an special character. + +What makes this system balanced is making sure that spending money is an shortcut, not a requirement, to succeed in the game.
+ +Rewarded Video Ads: An Trade of Attention for Rewards +
A very common and player-friendly method is the opt-in ad. Rather than forcing ads on players, the game presents a choice: "Watch this short video to earn a reward." This is a win-win: + +For the Player: They can earn premium currency without spending any money. It feels like a reasonable exchange. +Developer Benefit: They generate ad revenue, helping to fund the game's continued development. + +Common uses include continuing a run, doubling the coins collected, or unlocking a reward box.
+ +Cosmetic Items and Battle Passes +
A monetization strategy that is widely considered the most ethical is selling cosmetic items. These are purchases that alter the look of your game but provide no competitive advantage. Examples include: + +Outfits: Unique costumes for your main hamsters. +- Special Effects: Unique animations for using a power-up. + +The Season Pass is an evolution of this, providing a stream of cosmetic rewards to players who buy the pass and then reach specific milestones by playing the game.
+
A successful mobile game balances these methods thoughtfully, making sure that non-paying players can still fully enjoy and succeed in the game, while providing valuable purchases for those who choose to spend money.
