144 in scoring, 16 above the threshold, 9 new alerts.

New alerts

• Cat Mafia: Idle Tycoon (Neptune Company) — top 1 KR + an entry in HK, 18 reviews/day, 46 days. Idle tycoon, a Korean publisher warming up its home market and HK — a classic Asian test before expansion. The best new signal of the day.
• Endless Frontier 2 (ekkorr) — top 1 JP, but it's a midcore idle RPG and franchise launch organics, not our profile.
• Seven more — noise: one country, zero reviews/day (local TR/TW/KR/IL stories).

Most interesting by stage

1. Lordrush (Century) — 12 days, 17 countries, moved from 6th to 2nd place in India. Didn't expand geo over the day — it's consolidating positions inside what it already has. Still the best early entry point on the list.
2. Revlo — Car Spotting — 15 days, 5→11 countries in a day, a salvo across all of the EU (de, fr, gb, it, es…), top 7 ES. Only 3 reviews/day — this looks more like viral organics than buying, but a geo jump like that in a two-week-old game can't be ignored.
3. Warline: Sniper Strike (Powerfantasy) — 9 days and already 40 countries, 333 reviews/day, top 1 AE. A global blitz from day one, no soft launch — there was never an early point here, but the scale of the budget is telling.
4. Royal Smash! (Cypher) — 28 countries, holding top 1 TR, ~960 reviews/day. Fully scaled; what we're watching now isn't the game, it's Cypher's appetite.

Movement over the day

• Happy Restaurant 3D: 14→11 countries, reviews back to zero — the test is being wound down, or it's a pause. Status downgraded.
• Jigsaw Drop: 13→8 countries — rolled back yesterday's move into au/ca/nz, but holds ~400 reviews/day. Looks like the Tier-1 test is finished and they're digesting the results — waiting on a decision.
• Highway Heroes (Pixel Federation): 3→2 countries — the test has been slowed down.
• Family Farm Merge (Century) dropped off the list.
• Meowdoku! — 31 countries, ~2000 reviews/day, top 1 SG; Amaze GO! — 24 countries, ~700 reviews/day.
• Profile Perfect (Lion) 28→31 countries, top 3 KR — the deploy continues steadily.

Publishers

Oakever — 2 titles on the list again (Meowdoku + Amaze GO!), buying for the portfolio. Century has cut its presence to one title — it looks like they're concentrating the budget on Lordrush.
