Scaling Radar — September 21

2026-09-21

40 candidates, 7 titles in the radar for the first time. Five of them are real, the rest is noise.

New

Privateers: Pirate Wars (MadFatCat, 58 days) — 11 countries in one burst, TW #10, chart jump +82, already 4 countries in Grossing. A pirate AFK clash that went from one country to a full rollout in a week.

Enigmic: Crime Puzzle Cases (Infinity Games, 129 days) — 13 countries, PT #1, 37 reviews a day. Old and quiet — but a PT #1 on day 129 says it has made it.

Match Fighters (Unico Studio, 46 days) — 16 countries on day 46. Unico knows how to buy and sees geo. The second real entry of the day.

Word Finder: Cryptogram Puzzle (Sprigame, 33 days) — 10 countries. The third casual title from this publisher in the radar.

Three more — one or two countries, no reviews (Bopline, Bungee Beat, Wonder Tales — the latter from LoveColoring, though).

The read

Obby World: Brainrot Egg (Beos, 19 days) — 19 → 39 countries, VN #3, 24 reviews a day. Twenty countries in three days — Beos's rollout keeps accelerating, twice the starting pace.

Clash of Critters (Farlight, 124 days) — 3 → 31 countries, HK #2. Yesterday I called it quiet — I was wrong: thirty countries in three days. This is no longer an iOS fragment, it is a full second wave.

Catedrop: Card Puzzle (Goodroid, 50 days) — 8 → 24 countries (Android) plus 19 (iOS), EG #6, 148 reviews a day. A card-solitaire on both stores at once — and scaling on both.

Dino Survival (Wayfu, 12 days) — 18 → 27 countries, NZ #14. Twelve days from release and nearly thirty countries — the fastest exit into wide geo of the past week.

Police Chief (VoyagerOne, 136 days) — 19 → 28 (Android) plus iOS 28, NL #2. Steady portfolio: holding both stores at the same high level.

Movement

Spinner Evolution — 16 → 27 countries, PH #2, and a second HyperMonk title (Android, 27). Family Farm Merge (Century) — 3 → 14, CZ #2. Crafty Blox — 5 → 12, GR #61.

Many familiar names dropped off the list: CarLoop, Food Hunt, Frost Valley, Royal Smash, Jam Bus, Mahjong Flow, Steelborn. I check them against the charts through money below — leaving the candidates means nothing by itself.

Publishers

Unico Studio — Match Fighters (16 countries) on top of proven casual. A publisher stepping into a new format for it: network battles on word books.

Infinity Games — Enigmic (13 countries, PT #1). Beyond the usual casual line — a DET-focused publisher with its own geo model.

_Geo gains here are over three days (from Sep 18), not 24 hours._

Money — only what the stores showed themselves

Leaders of the day

Race Star: Team Manager (Gryphon, 93 days) — Grossing 43 countries, VN #3, at Top Free 24. Widest revenue reach today: buying is paying back beyond where the charts sell.

Lordrush (Century) — 41 countries Top Free (AT #1) and straight into 42 in Grossing, AT #7. Century delivers money a week after buying starts — proven across its portfolio.

Lumi Master (BILIBILI, 16 days) — 34 countries Top Free (TW #1), Grossing 40, HK #4, IAP from $0.29. The illumination casual that hit every deep-probe market: both charts above where it started.

Top Force (Century, 52 days) — Grossing 38 countries and BE #7, Top Free 38. Century for the second time today — across two titles the publisher has a whole strategy for expensive-install markets.

Warline: Sniper Strike (Powerfantasy, 102 days) — Grossing 39 out of 40 Top Free, FI #7. The MMO sniper with the widest reach after the leaders.

Volume is growing, money is nowhere

Wild Water World (Hong Kong Just Game, 21 day) — 35 countries, HK #1, reviews −356 a day (a slide), Grossing 17. Buying has gone negative on reviews — an early signal.

School Breakout Obby Escape (Play Paradigm, 44 days) — 37 countries, GR #20, Grossing zero. Huge volume, no receipt yet — second week like this.

Drift Racer (Skyverty, 127 days) — 40 countries at 1M+ installs with no Grossing. At this scale money is not mandatory yet, but it is time to watch.

The surprise

Spinner Evolution (HyperMonk) — 27 countries Top Free, Philippines #2, and Grossing 33 countries, GB #20. A young visual title with IAP and revenue wider than its geo — rare case where it pays to wait before calling KPI.
