Fourteen, seven of them meaningful. The rest — one country, zero reviews, noise.

Wordoku (Tripledot, iOS, 6 days) — a fresh word puzzle in soft launch, #20 in the Philippines with an 80-position jump. No reviews yet — we caught it in the first days of the test, and it's Tripledot: a must-watch.

House Cleaning: ASMR Makeover (CAT Studio, 39 days) — 14 → 25 countries, #4 in Austria. The ASMR wave isn't subsiding: this is already the third ASMR title on the list, alongside a couple from Brocker Bus.

idle island planing (Solid Games, 4 months) — 1 → 9 tier-1 countries. Late in itself, but this is Solid Games' second title on the list — see publishers.

Car Evolve (Heseri, ~5 months) — 15 → 25 countries with 1M+ installs and Grossing in 4 countries. Caught late, the game is already scaled.

Flying Warrior (8 → 19 countries) and Titan Rope Hero: Vice City (4 → 15, best rank #13 in India) — mid-tier action titles at 1M+, both three months old. There is a rollout, but this is topping up old titles, not the start of a phase.

Tricky Puzzle 2 (iOS, 4.5 months) — 5 countries, #14 in Vietnam, a modest 7 reviews/day.

Breakdown

The earliest and the most on-point is Bus Jam: Traffic Trouble (Gimica, 7 days): 7 → 9 countries in a day, reviews tripled from 109 to 339/day, #9 in Singapore. Narrow tier-1, pace rising — the phase is only just beginning.

ChungaChanga (Spaghetti House, 6 days) — 15 countries, won't let go of #1 in Norway, 1,786 reviews/day against yesterday's 1,431. Mystery Dumpling (Brocker Bus, 4 days) — holding 43 countries, moved up to #3, and reviews shot up from 212 to 594/day: the carpet salvo is converting into volume.

Amaze Romantic Goddess (11 days) — 26 countries, in the US it climbed #7 → #4, 275 reviews/day. But yesterday's revenue signal has sagged — more on that in part two.

Dear Passengers (14 days) — geo tightened slightly, 24 → 22, but the rank grew to #2 in Ireland. Still a test, not a rollback.

Movement

Rap Star: Idle Clicker 31 → 34 countries at #7. CubeAway (GOODROID) on iOS 35 → 39 countries and #1 in Denmark, with 37 on Android — both platforms, but the game is five months old. Slow Mo Strike (KAYAC) jumped #22 → #11 in Japan on iOS, reviews have started coming; the Android version sits in 44 countries.

Cooling off: People Jam #35 → #41 and reviews 2,201 → 1,583/day — the converter is cooling. Chameleon Paint & Hide Online — reviews have flatlined at zero, the rank slid to #62: for this clone the chameleon wave is over. Dream Tiles 11 → 7 countries, Block City Mansion 18 → 12.

Publishers

Brocker Bus Studio — Mystery Dumpling and Bracelet Maker at 43-44 countries each: the portfolio salvo continues. Solid Games — People Jam plus the new idle island planing. Tripledot — Stack Smash on Android and the fresh Wordoku on iOS: parallel tests on two platforms. Nebula Studio — Tap Tile! in 42 countries and GOGO! Blast right behind it.

Scaling Radar — Money, August 11

Move of the day

Bus Loop: Jam Master (Shoyo Mobi, 110 days) — Grossing shot up from 3 to 19 countries in a day with a best of #49, catalog $1.99–99.99, install bracket 500k+. Top Free sits at 36 countries with #9 — the buying is paying off, and this is the strongest money move of the day.

Royal Smash (Cypher) — Grossing is now in all 47 countries with a best of #14, Top Free holds #1 in Australia. Full rollout with a working cash register — the benchmark for a completed phase.

Rollbacks

Amaze Romantic Goddess — yesterday's "money from the doorstep" wasn't confirmed: Grossing contracted from 5 countries to one (#98 in Finland). The buying meanwhile continues — 26 countries, #4 in the US. The first revenue spike turned out to be exactly that, a spike; the week will show whether it was a one-off cohort.

People Jam (Solid Games) — Grossing 10 → 3 countries, reviews falling for a second day. After the jump to the 500k+ bracket the converter is clearly cooling — the buying peak may have passed.

Waiting list

Drama Story — install bracket 500k+, catalog $0.99–9.99 in place, and still zero in Grossing on day 23. Yesterday we wrote "in a week the question will become pointed" — it's becoming pointed already.

Bracelet Maker — formally entered Grossing (one country, #61 in Pakistan) with its single $2.99 item. At 1M+ and 44 countries that's cosmetic: the model stays purely ad-based.

ChungaChanga and Mystery Dumpling — no purchase catalogs at all: 15 and 43 countries of pure advertising. For the first week of life that's normal, but both are playing the same scheme as Bracelet Maker.

Slow, but forward

Endless Puncher (Rollic) — Grossing 6 → 7 countries, #36 in Britain, catalog up to $179.99. The pace is glacial, but it's the third week without rollbacks, and the iOS version is steadily in the top 3.

Car Evolve — a newcomer to the list arriving with revenue right away: Grossing in 4 countries at #34, catalog $2.99–29.99, 1M+. For a five-month-old game the profile is healthy — it lives on retention, with buying added on top.
