AppMagic: the most downloaded and highest-grossing mobile games in March 2020

The main thing:

• Voodoo collected the most downloads in a month — 145 million;
• Playrix entered the top 3 global companies by monthly box office, earning $139 million in March;
• it happened: a hyper-casual game about cleaning the toilet came out, and it is in demand.

Most downloaded games

Last March was not as rich in novelties as February.

Only four new names appeared in the tops of the most downloaded games. We will stop at them.

1) Slap Kings

Hyper-casual novelty from Lion Studios. In a three-dimensional game, the user participates in a slap tournament, pumps the strength of his punch, health and buys new outfits.

Slap Kings
At the end of the month Slap Kings:

• ranked 1st in downloads on both platforms — 28.7 million;
• ranked 2nd in downloads on Google Play — 22.6 million;
• ranked 3rd in iOS downloads — 6.7 million .

2) Spiral Roll

Also a hyper-casual game. This time from the company Voodoo. The player controls the chisel. With its help, he must cut out large shavings. The task of the resulting chips is to break obstacles in the way of the chisel.

Spiral Roll
At the end of the month Spiral Roll:

• ranked 6th in downloads on both platforms — 19.8 million;
• ranked 1st in iOS downloads — 8.1 million .

The 11.7 million installs received on Google Play did not allow the game to enter even the top ten most downloaded games on the Android platform.

3) Perfect Cream

New job Plygendary. Like the two games described above, this one is also made in 3D. In it, the player squeezes cream on the cakes. The neater, the better.

• took 2nd place in terms of downloads on iOS — 6.8 million .

4) Chores! – Spring into Cleaning

Another novelty from Lion Studios. Dedicated to housework. Among the duties of the player: ironing shirts and cleaning the toilet (special emphasis is placed on the latter when promoting on iOS).

Chores! – Spring into Cleaning
At the end of the month Chores!:

• ranked 10th in terms of downloads on iOS — 4 million .

***

According to the total installations, the month remained for Voodoo. 3 out of 10 games in the overall top are for this publisher. In total, Voodoo projects collected 145 million downloads in March. This is almost twice as much as Lion Studios.

Highest – grossing games

In March, there were no new releases in this top. Moreover, there were no significant permutations in it.

The main thing that I would like to note is the consistently high performance of the Chinese game “Three Kingdoms: Strategy” (“Strategy”). The game from Aligames marks a new stage in the development of Travian on mobile platforms. We are talking about both new gameplay solutions and fundamentally different UI moves. The “Three Kingdoms” has no analogues in the Western market yet.

At the end of the month “The Three Kingdoms: Strategy”:

• It took 9th place in revenue on both platforms and 4th place on iOS — $46.9 million (there is no game on Google Play, it is published only on the Chinese App Store).

“The Three Kingdoms: Strategy”
Also an important event can be called the entry of Playrix into the top 3 most earning mobile companies in the world.

In March, the studio earned about $139 million. Only Tencent ($460 million) and NetEase ($177 million) generated more.
