Nine, five of them meaningful.

Emerald Flower (Muhammed Enes Uge, iOS, 10 days) — #4 in Turkey with a 96-position jump, reviews +420%. A classic Turkish home test, caught at the very beginning.

Jewel Loop — Coloring Sort (Ta Ta Game, iOS, 14 days) — entry into HK and TW, #19 in Taiwan. On Android the title smoldered in 2–4 countries for a week — now they've added iOS. Ta Ta also has the older Jewel Coloring on the list at the same time — see publishers.

Knock Out: Physics Puzzle (Combo Yazilim, 43 days) — iOS entry in Germany at #19 with 397 reviews/day; the Android version has been sitting in 8–9 countries all week with a best of #13. Going to a second store is a bid for scale.

Ghost Sniper (Alda Games, 78 days) — iOS entry in India at #18, 209 reviews/day; Android has long been rolled out to 44+ countries. A late iOS top-up, not the start of a phase.

Jewel Color Sort (HappyTapLand, 48 days) — 2 → 7 countries, #10 in Egypt.

The other four — one country, zero reviews, noise.

Breakdown

The earliest and the most on-point is Emerald Flower: 10 days, Turkey only, top-5 and accelerating reviews. This is what the first week of buying looks like, not the tail.

Jewel Loop — 14 days, narrow Asia, and a publisher that is right now pushing a neighboring title out to 30 countries: Ta Ta has a conveyor, and the newcomer will follow the beaten path.

Knock Out — higher priority than the score says: almost 400 reviews a day out of Germany alone is already volume, not a test, plus a live Android base underneath it.

Word Kitchen (Gimica, 4+ months) — 1 → 6 countries in a day, #22 → #9 in Norway. The title itself isn't young, but the jump is sharp and fresh.

Track Star (Gryphon, 9 days) — 2 countries, with Race Star nearby at 15. Slow, but methodical.

Movement

Royal Smash (Cypher) 31 → 36 countries at #1. Rap Star: Idle Clicker 24 → 30, holding #1. Happy Restaurant 3D 17 → 21. Jewel Coloring 28 → 30 and a climb to #2 in Peru. Cooking Go 1 → 4 countries and straight to #6 in HK. GoT: Dragonfire (WB) 16 → 25 and #1 — not HC, but they're pouring in for real. Wordoku (Tripledot) holds 2 countries, moved up to #16 in the Philippines — the test is running. Slow Mo Strike (KAYAC) is stalling on iOS: 2–3 countries while Android sits at 44.

Contractions: Food Hunt 22 → 14, Lordrush 12 → 10 with #9 → #14, Clash of Critters 6 → 3.

Publishers

Ta Ta Game — Jewel Coloring in 30 countries plus the fresh Jewel Loop: scaling one title and testing the next at the same time. Gryphon Games — Track Star and Race Star, two manager idles in parallel. OAKEVER — Meowdoku (27 countries, #1 TW, 1,580 reviews/day) and Amaze GO! (33 countries) — the portfolio is moving smoothly. Gimica — after yesterday's Bus Jam, Word Kitchen has started moving too.

Today's cut is iOS only; the Android part will be back tomorrow.
