Looks like an awesome concept, and well executed as well!

Since the GamePress arcade lets you play any GamePress game, you could even publish top games as standalone apps running on your engine (if the creator wants). But more interestingly, you could provide some "edit" functionality in these apps, so that players can modify their local versions using the GamePress editor (either the full or a simplified version).

Angry Birds is cool, being able to build Angry Birds is cooler, but being able to customize your own version of Angry Birds is the coolest. People love sharing things they make, so that could be an entirely new growth avenue.

Thanks for the kind words.

Publishing standalone apps is definitely very high on our priority list. We're trying to come up with a streamlined process so that users can simple tap one button and we handle everything. IMO A great way for both the user and us to make money.. If executed correctly.

Once we have our online community up and running thats the goal with the GamePress Arcade. So you can see all the games, download them to play or even edit. Also allow for collaboration so you can build games with people around the world.
