We Know the Challenges Game Developers Face

SnapMonk is designed to solve each of these directly.

Game screenshots need to feel exciting

Static screenshots of a menu don't convey the excitement of gameplay. Developers need bold, vibrant layouts that communicate energy.

Showing gameplay is difficult in a static image

Highlighting mechanics, action, and progression in 5 still images is a creative challenge — the right layout helps.

Competing against games with professional marketing

Major studios invest heavily in store art. Indie game developers need tools that close that quality gap affordably.

Multiple store formats required

iOS App Store and Google Play have different screenshot size requirements. Creating assets for both doubles the workload.

Frequently Asked Questions

What screenshot templates work best for mobile games?

For mobile games, dark-themed templates with bold caption overlays perform best. Focus on 1–2 key gameplay moments per screenshot, add short punchy captions, and use high-contrast backgrounds. SnapMonk's gaming category templates are designed for exactly this.

How many screenshots should a mobile game have on the App Store?

App Store allows up to 10 screenshots; Google Play allows up to 8. For most games, 5–7 screenshots is optimal — cover the core gameplay loop, key features, social proof (ratings), and a reward/progression shot.

Can I create screenshots for both iOS and Android in one session?

Yes. SnapMonk supports all major iOS (iPhone 16, iPad Pro) and Android (Samsung Galaxy S24, Google Pixel 9) device frames. You can export for both platforms from the same design template.

Do game screenshots need device frames?

It depends on your art style. Some games use full-bleed screenshots with caption text and no device frame for a more immersive look. Others use device frames for a polished "product" feel. SnapMonk supports both approaches.
