Summary
“If your only innovation is a new celebrity face, don’t expect long-term wins.”
We just dropped a new Review Radar episode in which we examined every major mobile game from the last three months. Some are breaking the ‘podcast curse’ and scaling up, others are stuck in stable dinosaur mode, and a few are just… lost.
Highlights:
Triple Match City and Color Block Jam are stacking revenue with surprising ARPU and ad mixes
Royal Kingdom and Pokémon Sleep show that audience and IP still trump any new feature
Cloning is the new normal, but most ‘copy-paste’ games never hit the KPIs of their genre leaders
Monetization is where dreams die, great engines, weak revenue
UA and creative discipline are still the biggest differentiators
Our verdict? Build fast, adapt faster, and don’t be afraid to kill what isn’t scaling. In mobile gaming, the only thing worse than a failed experiment is a boring one.
