Despite all my fears that the “three-in-a-row” genre can tire users at one far from perfect moment, this does not happen, which also clearly demonstrates the success of the last game by Petri Järvilehto, who, for a second, was the lead designer on Max Payne 2 and creative director Alan Wake.
In six days, match-3/butler Best Fiends scored more than 1 million downloads. Most of them were in the USA, China and Russia (this is despite the fact that the game has been translated into all major European languages, but not into Russian or Chinese).
By the way, the game did not receive a big feature from Apple, although the latter listed it in the list of “best new games” in more than 70 countries. How it will show itself after the end of the promotion is still anyone’s guess.
We, in turn, hope that everything will be fine with the project. We will try to post its analysis in the near future.
The game can be downloaded from here.
Seriously is a Finnish company founded in 2013 by Petri Järvilehto and Andrew Stolbow after their departure from Rovio from key positions. The first project of the studio was match-3 – Best Fiends.
