And more details from the fresh Match 3 report.
The full report is available here.
In Q1 2021 Match 3 was responsible for 16% of all US iOS games revenue.
Project Makeover is the only project in years to jumped to the top-5 Match 3 games in the US.
Homescapes is the only game in the top-5 (except Project Makeover), that managed to increase the revenue compared to Q1 2020. However, the growth rate is small - just 0,64%.
Royal Match and Project Makeover are the latest novas in the genre. It’s also worth looking at Lily’s Garden, Harry Potter: Puzzles & Spells, and Property Brothers Home Design.
Most great Match 3 games are using: recurring and non-recurring live events; special rewards for them; limited IAP offers; special live events currency; special levels/modes outside of the main campaign.
