Platogo is a social gaming network, and is the first platform to apply the Web 2.0 paradigms of user-generated content and strong community focus to browser-based gaming in a way that’s attractive to gamers and developers alike.
The range of options available to gamers sets Platogo apart from its competitors. Users can play alone, with or against each other; they can measure their performances against other players; they can rate games and individual levels, comment on them, post them or recommend them onwards. Users can also create and share their own levels: in racing games, for example, they have the opportunity to build their own courses.
