Games on the Rise #5
GAMES ON THE RISE
# 5, WEEK, OCTOBER, 2024
The last week of October brought some interesting games on the rise! 📈 ✨
Some of them have different mechanics and perform well.
I’ve highlighted 4️⃣ titles.
➡️ “Clue Master – Logic Puzzles” by Lion Studios.
It’s an outstanding logic puzzle game with a detective theme. 🕵️♀️
Its UX is straightforward, similar to life simulators such as “BitLife” by Candywriter, LLC.
Btw, the “Clue Master” developer is Regulus Studio, an Indonesian company led by Armandarius Darmadji, which has a successful simulator in its portfolio, “Family Tree! – Logic Puzzles” (US$1.2MM IAP revenue), also published by Lion.
I loved “Clue Master”! 💞
I played it for over an hour and a half non-stop! 🤪
And it seems that I’m not the only one who thinks so…
According to AppMagic, “Clue” has been growing in revenue and downloads recently, with a high market share in the 🇺🇸 (around 70%).
➡️ “Hidden Spot” by Easybrain.
The gaming giant with over 1.5 billion downloads in its portfolio has launched a hidden object game with cleverly innovative mechanics. 💡
Instead of searching for objects on a map, players need to find their spots, indicated only by the drawing of part of their outline.
This change has refreshed the sub-genre. 🔄
➡️ “Water Sort” by Flyfox.
This is a Water Sort Puzzle game with a metagame starting to climb. 🧗
Flyfox did the simple thing, taking the typical woman rescue metagame from Playrix’s Scapes franchise and including the Water Sort mechanics.
The game has been growing since September and has reached over 6.5 MM downloads.🚀
➡️ “Mini Games: Calm & Chill” by ABI Game Studio.
The new title from the Vietnamese giant 🇻🇳 is another game following in the footsteps of the mega filter game trends of TikTok, “Do Re Mi” and “Scream Chicken”.
Last week I published a report on these trends and how they have been generating tens of millions of downloads for some mobile games. 🤯
Note that the market leaders in Mini-Games have a retention rate of over 40% D1 and 7% D60, and a good market share in the 🇺🇸.
I warned you! 😬
Now only those who don’t want to are left out. 💸
