Developer standards

Policies

Current policy
Accountability Developer actions are tied to the signed-in account. Do not share accounts used for publishing, payments, or payout details.
Content ownership Upload only games, assets, images, audio, text, code, names, brands, and characters that you created or have the legal right to distribute, sell, and promote.
Safety and moderation Cruze Games may approve, delay, hide, reject, restore, delete, customize metadata, or feature content. Records are retained for review, payments, audit, and abuse prevention.
Security Uploaded games must remain static browser games. They must not request credentials, collect sensitive data, impersonate Cruze Games, escape the player frame, or bypass validation.
Privacy and data Do not collect personal data, payment information, precise location, school records, private messages, or device identifiers inside uploaded games unless Cruze Games has approved the flow in writing.
Review readiness Submissions must include truthful metadata, accurate categories, representative media, working controls, clear age suitability, and no misleading claims about prizes, earnings, rankings, or platform endorsement.
Payments PesaPal credentials stay server-side. Downloads, promotions, and credits unlock only after verified transaction status from PesaPal.
Asset delivery Asset creators choose Free direct download, Free with tips, or Paid download. Paid listings must use the configured price and currency, and direct file links must not be exposed as public metadata before purchase verification.
External links Links must support the game or developer profile, open safely, and must not route users to scams, malware, credential collection, surprise downloads, or off-platform payment collection for Cruze-listed content.
Public publishing Games submitted for review receive a previewable store page. Approved games appear under /games/your-game/ and may surface in catalogue, leaderboard, blog, and public links.
Quality standards Playable games must include an index.html entry, useful title, clear summary, representative cover art, working controls, mobile-friendly layout, and no broken external dependencies.
Drafts and previews Drafts stay private to your signed-in developer account. Previews are for testing and review; they are not a public approval or guarantee of featuring.
Analytics integrity Do not inflate views, plays, downloads, votes, purchases, referrals, or leaderboard activity. Suspicious traffic can be filtered, delayed, reviewed, or removed from public ranking signals.
Disputes and takedowns Content may be paused during ownership, safety, payment, or abuse reviews. Developers may edit and resubmit rejected work after resolving the stated issue.
Review decisions Platform review decisions are final for public safety and platform quality. Delayed or rejected items can be edited and re-submitted after addressing the stated issue.
Reference standards These standards align with common store requirements for account responsibility, content ownership, privacy, payment verification, anti-abuse controls, moderation, takedowns, and ranking integrity. See the Cruze Games Privacy Policy and the monetization guidance in this workspace.
