The Piano Tiles 2 music game became the most downloaded, NEXON’s HIT hit the box office top immediately after launch, and the Star Wars game rose on the wave of the success of the franchise film. App Annie, an analytical company, told about all these events in a monthly report.
At the end of January, App Annie, as usual, presented a retrospective of the events of the previous month, where she talked about the main events in mobile.
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Hits Top Downloads after Star Wars Launch: The Force Awakens
The game based on the “star” franchise started in September 2015 and immediately after the launch hit the top. After some time, the number of downloads dropped. However, after the Star Wars movie appeared in theaters: The Force Awakens title experienced a second peak of downloads, as EA timed the premiere of an update in which the characters of the film appeared.
A new NEXON game called HIT almost immediately after launch hit the box office top
Midcore RPG HIT originally from South Korea took 6th place in the world box office top a month after its release. App Annie analysts believe that the popularity of the game was provided by several factors at once. This is excellent graphics (the game was made on Unreal 4), professional voice acting and a strong plot. And also a well-known name in the development team. The process of creating the game was led by Park Yong-Hyun, who was one of the key figures in the creation of Lineage 2.
The most downloaded game of December was the Piano Tiles 2 music app
The game Piano Tiles 2 in December hit the world top in downloads. App Annie experts attribute the jump in popularity of the project to the update, which was released at the end of November and contained a set of Christmas and New Year songs.
Note that earlier Piano Tiles 2 was in the top five most downloaded games in September.
