TRACKING RELEASES & TRANSFERS
# 1 HALF OF AUGUST, 2024

Hi Hyper & Hybrid Friends! 🤗

Today I bring you another edition of our…

💫 Tracking Releases & Transfers 💫

The first half of August revealed how innovation in mechanics remains the driving force behind the Hybridcasual. 💪💡

I highlight 4️⃣ titles of them.

✅ “Falling Ball: Calm Music Game” by Amanotes
The market leader in rhythm games (and Cost Center 🔜 GamesCom Asia partner 💕) has launched yet another innovative game! 🌟
Taking advantage of the ASMR sensation of a bubble bursting, “Falling Ball” follows the classic falling ball scene from big hits like “Helix Jump” and “Going Balls”.
Keeping the neon game art typical of its big hits, the big Vietnamese publisher 🇻🇳 has created a promising game.
“Falling Ball” was launched by Amanotes on August 1st. 🗓️

✅ “Mr Cactus” by Voodoo
Pursuing its goal of becoming the market leader in Hybridcasual, the French giant 🇫🇷 has launched a fun physics puzzle inspired by Rovio Entertainment Corporation‘s billionaire “Angry Birds” franchise. 😠🐦
In “Mr Cactus”, the player is a cute cactus doll 🌵 who shoots arrows to burst balls. 🏹🎈
In my opinion, what’s interesting about this new release from Voodoo is its simplicity.
With polished 2D game art, but without overdoing it, “Mr Cactus” bets on innovation in mechanics. 💡
Unlike some competitors who have chosen an editorial line closer to the Core, Voodoo keeps its Hypercasual identity by looking for games with innovative gameplay.
Developed by Mad Apper Studios, “Mr Cactus” was transferred to Voodoo’s account on August 10th. 🗓️

✅ “Parking Out” by Rollic
The Turkish giant 🇹🇷 has launched an interesting game that mixes “Parking Jam” with Chain Puzzle.
Some innovative features stand out, such as Astronaut. 👩‍🚀
Developed by Feelcrafters, “Parking Out” was transferred to Rollic’s account on August 3rd. 🗓️

✅ “Number Stack: Coin Puzzle” by Kwalee
The British publisher’s 🇬🇧 new game is a mix of different puzzle sub-genres. 🧩
For example, the “Number Stack” mechanic brings “Hexa Sort” stacking and “Block Blast!” piece insertion.
At first glance, the game seems very difficult. 😅
But after the first few moves, the player realizes that it’s not so impossible to reach the level’s goal.
“Number Stack” was launched by Kwalee on August 8th. 🗓️
