"strategy": {
"currentDecision": "Use hosted HTML5 game platforms first instead of buying a custom domain. Platform distribution and platform-managed ads are the zero-upfront-cost path.",
"whyNoDomainCanStillWork": [
"CrazyGames and Yandex Games host approved HTML5 games inside their own catalogs, so discovery and ad serving do not require a custom domain.",
"The games already have static live previews on Cloudflare Pages, but the monetization surface is the platform embed after approval.",
"A custom domain can improve the utility-tool site later, but it is not required to test the first game-platform revenue path."
],
"immediateRoute": [
"Submit Neon Lane Dash to CrazyGames first because its three-lane reflex loop has broader casual appeal.",
"Submit Neon Lane Dash to Yandex Games second because the build now includes Yandex SDK v2 lifecycle and gated ad hooks.",
"Submit Neon Lane Dash to Playgama and GamePix after direct-platform submissions because both handle distribution and monetization without requiring a custom domain.",
"Submit Upload Limit Panic after Neon is live or in review, using it as a differentiated puzzle/sorting title.",
"Use Lagged and GameFlare as lower-friction secondary tests if the first submissions are delayed by account or moderation gates.",
"Create itch.io mirrors only for public browser-play proof and feedback; do not treat itch as the primary ad route."
],
"parkedRoutes": [
"GameDistribution remains a later distributor test after CrazyGames, Yandex, Playgama, and GamePix because it likely needs a separate SDK adapter.",
"Poki remains a later high-upside quality target because web exclusivity may conflict with broad nonexclusive distribution.",
"Douyin mini-game is a later port because it needs extra account-side setup, domestic platform packaging, and local compliance review.",
"Bilibili mini-game/video routes are lower priority because they require more creator operation and have a weaker no-sales advertising loop for this project.",
"AdSense on a free subdomain remains a utility-site validation path, but it is not the fastest zero-domain first-revenue path."
],
"accountsNeeded": [
"CrazyGames developer account login to submit the ZIP and later complete payout details.",
"Yandex Games publisher account login to create the game card, upload the archive, and later complete payment details.",
"itch.io creator account only if we want a free browser mirror.",
"Douyin/Bilibili accounts only after the HTML5 platform route gives a signal worth porting.",
"Playgama developer portal account and GamePix Dashboard account are the next-best low-cost accounts after CrazyGames/Yandex.",
"Lagged, GameFlare, and GameDistribution accounts or contact submissions are useful if primary platform moderation stalls."
],
"officialEvidence": [
"CrazyGames Basic Launch disables ads and revenue share at first, and ads must be requested only through the CrazyGames SDK.",
"CrazyGames quality guidance emphasizes quick onboarding, clear goals, responsive controls, and visually consistent game presentation.",
"Yandex upload docs require SDK connection, a developer account in the Console, a separate draft per game, and moderation submission.",
"Yandex monetization docs describe internal advertising, interstitial blocks, rewarded blocks, sticky banners, payments, and statistics.",
"Playgama describes no upfront costs, HTML5 ZIP upload, Bridge SDK integration, partner distribution, ad/IAP monetization, revenue share, and withdrawal methods.",
"GamePix describes account creation, lightweight SDK integration, HTML5 hosting, QA, partner distribution, and a 45% developer revenue share.",
"Lagged advertises developer game submissions and 50% revenue share with Google AdSense.",
"GameFlare says it accepts HTML5 games, can review playable early-access games, offers free hosting, and pays monthly after a 50 EUR minimum.",
"Poki documentation says SDK integration is mandatory after acceptance and that Poki prefers Web Exclusive deals."
