Scaling Radar — September 10 (iOS only)

2026-09-10

23 candidates, 10 new alerts, two of them substantive. The main thing — MiniMuses is entering tier-1 from day one with no tests at all, while yesterday's hero Sand Fill has vanished from iOS entirely.

Headline of the day

MiniMuses (Studio Sirenia, 3 days) — US #6 → #4 → #3 in three days, today 8 countries: CA #5, AU #6, GB #11, IE #11, PL #12, NZ #13, PH #22. Ratings 0 → 214 → 643, about 430 a day. A full set of English-speaking tier-1 on its third day of life is not a test, it is a launch with a budget. The store does not tag the genre, so check it by hand.

Sand Fill: Block Puzzle (Stormborn) — on iOS, 6 countries the day before yesterday, zero yesterday and zero today. Yesterday's "synchronised rollout across both platforms" was not confirmed on iOS: it was a two-day salvo. We will check the Android version tomorrow.

Young titles with narrow geo

Wild Water World (Just Game, 9 days) — 17 → 19 countries, LATAM for the first time: AR/BR #18, CO #21, MX #23. Meanwhile HK/JP/KR/TH hold #1, SG #6, GB #13. Ratings 67 → 222 in three days. From Asia to Latin America bypassing Europe — cheap geo to cheap geo.

Word Tiles (Agave, 44 days) — 4 → 9 countries, US #11 → #6, CA #16 → #6, added ES #12, TR #11, MX, AR, PH. About 460 reviews a day. They sat on four countries for a month and a half, now they are moving.

Fish Sort Puzzle — Bubble Jam (SUPLIFE) — 3 → 5 → 8 countries, ranks pulled up everywhere: NZ #9, DK #10, AU/CA #12, GB, NO and SE came in. But 5 reviews a day on 1,300 ratings — the chart is growing faster than the audience. Recheck in a week.

New alerts

Obby Speed: Keyboard (Khanh Pham Van) — entry from zero into 4 countries: IL #11, SA, EG, VN, 67 reviews a day, 7.7k ratings. A Middle Eastern test of an obby clone; at 114 days old it is no longer in the sweet spot.
Cube Tap Sort (Tripledot) — HK #23, one country, 61 reviews a day. Tripledot is probing a six-month-old title in HK — their usual warm-up before a decision.

Another eight — noise: one country, zero reviews.

Movement

Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle (Funfinity) — the steadiest rollout of the week: 4 → 7 → 12 → 13 → 17 → 23 countries in six days, SA #8, IL #9, AE #11. Middle East → Asia → LATAM, +11 countries in three days.

Find Em All! (Agave) — 1 → 7: DK #6, IL #13, CZ/SE #19, NO, SG, VN. Agave's second title to start moving on the same day as Word Tiles.

Pixel Gun 2 (Cubic) — a second wave. After 31 → 2 countries over four days, it is back to 18 today: FI #7, NO #8, CH #9, ES #13. They buy in pulses, not in a stream.

Endless Puncher (Rollic) — 0 → 9 countries (BE, DE, ES, IT, NO, PL, SE, VN #15, ZA) for a 202-day-old title with an average rating of 2.1. Rollic is pulling old stock out of the drawer and buying across Europe — with a rating like that it is more of a measurement than a launch.

Knock Knock: Room Defense on iOS is down to 8 countries (it went 30 → 20 → 18 → 14 → 11), best is MX #14. The salvo is over. Colony Flow! 30 → 23, Royal Smash 31 → 28 with TR #3 and 2.1k reviews a day — holding on volume. Brobuddy is back to 5 countries (BE/DK/HK/NZ #17) — they keep jerking the budget in short salvos.

Publishers

Agave Games — two titles started moving on the same day (Word Tiles +5, Find Em All +6): a portfolio decision, not a per-game one. Oakever — Meowdoku at 40 countries, #1 in US/CA/JP/HK/TW, 2.4k reviews a day, plus Amaze GO 32 → 35 — both on a plateau. Century Games — Lordrush and Top Force hold 12 and 25 countries with no movement for a third day.
