The challenge is already available and mobile game developers are invited to apply now.

 

"Hyper-casual games downloads grew 15% year over year in H1 2021 and are continuing to be incredibly popular - dominating the top games charts.  As consumers continue to discover mobile games via this rapidly growing and evolving genre, it can be difficult for game designers and publishers to analyse and determine what features, mechanics and monetization strategies are gaining market traction. Our Game IQ tool greatly simplifies this analysis because we enable our customers to easily compare genres and subgenres. Now, it’s easy to see what makes hit games unique, and respond accordingly!” says Junde Yu, GM of Gaming, App Annie.

 

“Developing #1 hyper-casual games means not only being able to detect hot trends and come up with innovative ideas - it’s also heavily influenced by data and experience, knowing where to focus your efforts and how to make your game more playable than the rest. As publishers, we aim to provide our studios with all the data and tools they need in order to develop a future hit, and we’re proud to join forces with App Annie and offer them a detailed overview of the hyper-casual market”, says Omri Henkin, VP Publishing & Business Development at CrazyLabs.
