Color Block Jam by Rollic scaled to $300K 🤑 a day in just 2 months 😱 Developed by Gybe Games, this is another successful Hybrid-casual puzzler in Rollic's portfolio, and we couldn't wait to review it for you 😎 Core gameplay is deterministic puzzle, with a timer as loose condition. This is again similar to games like Twisted Tangle, where levels are not randomized and you build up your strategy in trial/error fashion. If you lose, there is literally a "Fail Offer" as per the good Hybrid puzzler standard nowadays 😅. As said, Rollic has lots of experience with this specific setup and of course Hybrid-casual puzzlers by itself, so no wonder this game is scaling like crazy currently 💹. Core idea is a great iteration on tile moving puzzles, where you have limited space to work with. The iteration […]

Archero implemented literally the whole core gameplay of Bacon's Revenge as an event 😅. We got to the point, where established games are literally absorbing new concepts as means to not only add flavor to their old feature set, but also keep their current players within their ecosystem, where they can offer the same novelty as competition. The event is called Backpack Battle and its origin can be traced back to PC hit Backpack Hero, which all these inventory weapon management ⚔️ mechanics are trying to iterate. Bacon's Revenge itself is a combination of Doodle Magic, which streamlined the tower defense genre by ditching a road and Backpack Hero, where you need to collect and merge weapons as your skills in a roguelite fashion.Why keep this within Archero 1 and not built a separate competitor game? Because Archero still makes […]

Block Blast by Hungry Studio is currently doing 🤑 $1 Mil. a day with around 1 Mil. downloads a day on 40 Mil. daily active users 😱. This is the biggest Ad revenue game on the planet right now. We got our review ready for you 😎... There is of course the very close likeness to Tetris 🟦, that the game cleverly uses, but it definitely has its own iteration. Blocks are coming in trios at the bottom, and until you place all 3 you won't get new ones. Blocks are destroyed by placing full 8 blocks both horizontally or vertically. You are given points based on your moves, which gives you your score. This creates a very satisfying blasting environment , with even callouts such as Perfect or Excellent, based on your placements. The secret of success is of […]

Blossom Sort by Zeromaze scaled to $60K a day with only 20K downloads per day 😅. This unconventional take on the sort puzzle is packing more than 1 trick up its sleeve. Read the full rundown here 😎: Instead of the usual sorting mechanic, like water puzzles or Colorwood, where you can move pieces only on the same color pieces, here you can freely move flowers 🌺 around the pots even though they will be put near a flower that is a different type. Breaking this major sorting rule gives the game a much more relaxing feeling and also solves one of the fail state problems. As fail state here is is either done by running out of time ⏳ or running out of space to move flowers. Even though the game runs a lot of ads, it still monetizes […]

Top Girl by A3 Games (ehm, tap4fun 😅) scaled to $80K a day in US only a soft-launch release. Is the Japanese Idol Master genre finally coming to the West? NO NOT, it is again another, ehm, ..., read the rest here 😅 The game starts as Idol Master, and you as CEO manage a company of girls that produce music 🎵, have different abilities to increase the sales of the music itself and it is all nicely wrapped around the Idle generation mechanic, where dollars per second is the main progression of the game. Girls are given through gacha, there is a tour mechanic, which gates the upgrades, and the idle timer mechanic as you sell the new songs. And EVERYTHING is done with AI - the characters, the videos, the creatives, the "animations" 😱 . So what's next? […]
