The globally renowned social media agency Amobee collaborated with us to create a simple HTML5 game to promote Optus' mobile services.

The strategy and advertising campaign from Optus required us to include Usain Bolt with their game. We designed a game to meet the client's goals. Game was designed as a simple social game that could be played on Facebook and SnapChat. The game allows players to run with Usain Bolt at the Speed Of Bolt and is playable on both mobile and desktop platforms. In order to maintain their running speed, players collect bolt points. This can be used to unleash Bolt Speed for a score bonus.

We provided the following services:

  • Game design and development
  • Level design
  • Custom HTML5 game development
  • A game suitable for play on Facebook Messenger and Snapchat
  • Facebook leaderboard
  • UI/UX development
  • Music and sound design

A fast-loading social advertising game delivered within a short timeframe and on a small budget.

Players can collect speed to get to Bolt Speed, the game was used to promote Optus 4G services

This simple game idea had to be developed within the confines of a thin brief, a short schedule and a reasonable budget. The client required a game that focused on speed, so even the loading times had to be super fast. Besides providing game development services, Mode arranged suitable hosting services ensuring that the game loaded at bolt speed. The game received up to 20K unique plays per day and as many as 500K+ during the whole campaign. A three-month campaign was tailored to the target market of Australia in order to suit campaign messages.

A leaderboard and social sharing functions were included in the social game, which was played on Facebook and Snap Chat.
