RedMetrics offers open source game analytics. It is made up of a RESTful web service and a web app that allows teachers and researchers to track game metrics, then download the raw data for offline analysis. Limited support for groups is also available.
Check it out at redmetrics.crigamelab.org.
To use it for your game, check out the RESTful web service API. If your game works in Unity, check out RedMetrics-Unity. If your game runs in a browser, you can use RedMetrics.js to connect it.
We take privacy seriously! You may not use RedMetrics to store personally identifiable information about users, such as email address or full names. Please see the RedMetrics Privacy Policy for more information.
