StareDown is a mobile app that lets you have staring contests with people you know or strangers around the world. You can make your own profile, invite friends through social media, and join contests to win actual cash. The app also keeps track of how you rank and gives you a fun way to compete.
The initial version of the StareDown app had many issues regarding the features and user engagement.
To address the challenges, we conducted an in-depth analysis of user behavior, industry trends, and competitive apps. The goal was to identify key areas of improvement that would drive user engagement and retention. Based on the findings, we proposed several features and enhancements to make the gameplay more interactive and rewarding.
Allow users to record stare-down matches.
Use recorded videos as bot opponents.
Introduce a guide screen for earning rewards through videos and powers.
Provide terms and conditions for each power.
Introduce power-ups: Second Chance, Breather, Cherry Bomb, Thunder.
Power-ups enhance gameplay strategy and engagement.
Purchase power-ups using in-app purchases or tickets.
Utilize power-ups like Second Chance to resume matches.
Use power-ups like Breather to take breaks during matches.
Award users with trophies and badges for achievements.
Motivate users to play more through an achievement system.
Classify users based on performance using a ranking system.
Foster competitive environment through player rankings.
Implement a referral system for user bonuses.

Allow in-app purchases of coins and power-ups.

Provide a dedicated wallet management section.
Track transactions and match history.

Our team implemented the proposed solutions according to the client's requirements and experienced a major increase in app usage.
Our team boosted user interaction by adding video-based gameplay and cool power-ups like Second Chance and Thunder. These features kept players hooked, leading to longer app usage.
We introduced trophies, tier-based multipliers, and a ranking system, making the game more competitive and encouraging users to stay active, which improved retention rates.
The referral program and festive promotions helped our client to expand the user base by rewarding players for bringing in friends.
Our experts integrated in-app purchases and ads, creating multiple revenue streams. Users loved buying power-ups, driving the app's financial success.
We improved onboarding with multiple login options, guided tours, and a user-friendly interface, leading to positive feedback and higher ratings.
By using Google WebRTC and Socket.io, we made interactions faster and smoother, enhancing gameplay.
Our team built a scalable backend with NodeJS, NestJS, and AWS Amplify to handle more traffic and data without slowing down the app.
We used Firebase Crashlytics and Google Analytics to keep track of user behavior and app performance, helping us make continuous improvements.
