Abstract
Systems and methods for managing sharing of mini-games over a game cloud system are provided. One example method includes receiving a request to access games through a user account. A user interface with a plurality of games is presented for a user to view and play, upon successful access to the user account. A first game is played and a video is generated recording the game play. Selection of a portion of the recorded video is received from the first user and a mini-game is generated from the selected video portion. Mini-game generated includes the recorded video and an executable portion. The mini-game is posted to a website along with a challenge comment upon first user's request for sharing the mini-game. One or more game plays for the posted mini-game are received and mini-game play videos are generated. The mini-game play videos are provided to other users during sharing.
