SHIPPING & COMPLIANCE (CrazyGames, Full launch)

Leviathan ships as a Full launch: CrazyGames SDK + ads + land-directly-in-gameplay. This page is the ground truth for keeping it compliant across resubmissions.

SDK integration (verified against SDK v3 docs)

• SDK.init() is the first SDK call; loadingStart() / loadingStop() bracket load.
• gameplayStart() on first real input (deferred, never at load), with an idempotent guard; gameplayStop() on every break (shop, settings, victory, tab hidden, ad).
• Mute: reads game.settings.muteAudio and registers game.addSettingsChangeListener — the real v3 API. (The earlier game.isMuted / game.on("mute") was invented and silently failed; fixed.) Portal mute overrides the in-game toggle and silences music, SFX and synth.
• Ads: ad.requestAd('rewarded', { adStarted, adFinished, adError }). During a video: pause + mute + block UI. On adError / no-fill / AdBlock the reward is NOT granted; a pearl alternative is offered instead.
• AdBlock-safe: SDK init in try/catch, ready=false on failure, all SDK calls guarded; fully playable without the SDK.
• Only external request is the CG SDK; all assets are relative and bundled.

Gameplay requirements

• New players land directly in a seeded reef (no menu wall); onboarding coach hint on first drop.
• The headline goal (Raise 2 Leviathans) and the next species are always visible.
• First minutes are calm; the Spikefish is gated behind time and progress.
• No custom fullscreen button; Escape left free.
• No cross-promo CTA to a playable web build inside the CG menu (studio/store attribution only).

Technical

• Consistent physics via a clamped delta; current/drift forces framerate-independent.
• user-select / touch-callout disabled for mobile; iOS audio resume on first touch.
• Responsive chrome across all portal iframe ratios (dedicated short/landscape tiers).

Final gate before submitting

1. Run the Developer Portal QA Tool — requirements pass + all SDK features green (it has an explicit mute test).
2. Play one full game to a win (confirms the victory flow and audio fire).
3. Clean zip — exclude docs and any stray audio/*.bak.mp3.
