SPYR Shareholder Update


DENVER, CO, Nov. 05, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE - SPYR, INC. (OTC PINK: SPYR), a holding company with wholly owned subsidiaries in both the mobile game & app development and publishing industry, today provides its shareholders with a business update.

SPYR’s overarching goal is to become a premier, diversified mobile games publisher, deriving revenue from games in various genres and appealing to multiple demographics.  Toward that goal and as announced on August 2, 2018, SPYR launched the game Steven Universe: Tap Together. (https://ir.spyr.com/press-releases/detail/211/spyr-announces-global-launch-of-steven-universe-tap).

Today, SPYR updates its shareholders on the progress and key milestones for the Steven Universe: Tap Together title.  We were honored to be selected on October 11, 2018 to be the Game of the Day on the Apple App Store. This was in our key territory of the USA, where the Steven Universe IP is most popular. The game has been well received globally, with Apple iOS Store average reviews at 4.3 and Google Play at 4.4 out of 5 stars.

Steven Universe: Tap Together is a game in the very popular “tapper” genre, but it is also innovative, in that it includes the ability to play multiplayer and the ability for groups of players to form “Clubs” and play together on a regular basis, which has paid off for the title. There are ongoing tournaments for these Clubs at various levels, and Events are run in-game to introduce new characters and provide shared goals for the Clubs on at least a monthly basis. 

Last week Steven Universe: Tap Together completed its latest in-game event, which lasted one week and featured a popular singing group from the television show. These in-ame events are run approximately monthly and players dive into the events with gusto. With each event we see the engagement and monetization levels spike as players binge in order to earn the limited time rewards that are offered during these game events.



The Role Playing Game (RPG) and hero collection mechanics of the title are delivering higher than industry standard Average Revenue Per Daily Active Unique (ARPDAU) numbers for the Casual Games Genre, demonstrating the player base sees the value of the items offered in the game.  In the Western territories, the lifetime player value numbers are exceeding our projections and we are looking to expand our advertising and promotional channels to bring the game to more users through additional marketing platforms.
