GAMES ON THE RISE
# 3, WEEK, AUGUST, 2024
Last week some new games appeared at the top of the charts for the first time.
➡️ “Bus Mania – Car Jam Puzzle” by ZPLAY has had almost 1.4MM downloads.
Released on July 31, the new puzzle from the Chinese publisher 🇨🇳 mixes parking jam mechanics with “Block Jam 3D”, and has customization and car collecting metagame 🚗, following the path of “Chrome Valley” by Space Ape Games Ape.
➡️ “Highway Overtake – Car Racing” by HyperMonk.
The new title from the Turkish 🇹🇷 publisher is an excellent mix of Arcade Racing and Idle.
Following the motto “good games come from simple ideas”, “Highway Overtake” simulates an everyday situation: driving in a hurry to avoid being late. 🕜😅
It has realistic game art and “Tap & Hold” mechanics. 👆📱
The game also brings layers of depth, with several features in its metagame.
With a growth stage beginning in the last week of July, Hypermonk’s new title has achieved promising metrics. 👀
According to AppMagic, “Highway” has so far achieved almost 4MM downloads and US$150MM in IAP revenue (50% from the 🇺🇸), with a D7 of around 11.5%.
⚠️ Pursuing themed niches for men in mobile games is a hot trend. ⚠️
➡️ “Eye Color Mix” by CrazyLabs.
This is the Israeli publisher 🇮🇱 doing what it does best: the DYI color game. 🎨
In this new title, instead of a cell phone case, a shirt or fingernails, the player customizes eyes. 👁️
With the growth stage beginning in July, “Eye” has accumulated more than 3.5MM downloads so far.
➡️ “OFFLINE GAMES by Ludo King” by Gametion Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
The Indian giant that owns the Ludo King IP (+1b downloads) has picked up on the offline gaming trend led by the new Jindoblu title.
And the trend looks strong. 📈
In just two weeks, Gametion’s game has reached almost 800k downloads.
