Match-3 Games To Watch!

Beyond the dominance of Dream Games, King, and Playrix, here are seven casual games worth watching from the AppMagic Casual Games Report:

Four games launched in H1 hit $100kpcm. It’s interesting to note that three of them are focused on Asian markets:

– Family Farm Match
– Puzzle Seventeen (across Asia)
– 君のことが大大大大大好きな100人の彼女ビビーン!!とパズル (roughly translates as “100 Girlfriends Who Really Really Really Love You Vivien!! and Puzzles”, Japan)
– 假日乐消消 (roughly a more to-the-point “Holiday Fun”, China)

Beyond that, there are three new games that look likely to have an impact:

– Good Job Games, my favourite, Match Villains making solid in-roads in the category
– Vertex Games Inc. Matching Story has already booked over $50m
– Playrix have Austin’s Adventure in soft launch
