Hallpass API






I will summaries what Hallpass say about their API:

-50$ for each API added to a game, ofcourse after the game is approved by Hallpass.
-They will pay you via PayPal after your game is uploaded to their site.
-The API will send the scores to Hallpass, and they will be tracked in the users profiles.
-The scores must be submitted at the end of each level or game.

Here are the steps to add the API:

1-Add the API Code to your game.
2-Upload it to Hallpass.
3-Wait a few minutes then check your profile area, your game should appear. Play and test your game out to see if it is sending us scores, be patient as scores update every few minutes... so play, wait, then check.
4- Email us that your game has worked and you want to get paid, include your pay pal address.

Where to Submit your Flash Game?

You just finished your game and tested it and everthing is OK and now you want to publish it. I advice you to first upload the game onto (www.kongregate.com/) and (www.newgrounds.com), because they are the most known flash game portals that accept game submissions from developers and have big amount of traffic.

After that you may search for flash game portals that accept submissions from developers.Here is a list of websites that accept game submissions, some of them will require registration.

Note: If the website asked for "Flash URL", upload the "SWF" file of the game on your website and enter the address of the "SWF" file in the field or make a site using google sites and upload the file there if you dont have a website .
