Mobile strategy games Goat Simulator made the leap

Mobile strategy games that comes just five days after the open-world game debuted on those mobile game marketing devices. Goat Simulator has players trying to perform insane and humorous tasks as the titular horned mammal, and the developer purposefully set out to make it all feel broken. With Goat Simulator already finding an audience on PC and now on mobile, it reveals that studios don’t necessarily need to pour a ton of resources into polish and production values as long as what they are making is interesting or funny. Goat Simulator sells for $5 on mobile strategy games, and it is also just the latest release to show that mobile strategy games will occasionally spend a few dollars to download something despite an overabundance of free-to-play options.

“It feels really amazing that so many people like our mobile strategy games,” Coffee Stain producer Armin Ibrisagic wrote in a blog post. “We’re also really happy that we can now reach out to even more goat fans, and that people without a computer can now also enjoy the life of being a goat.”

City Rush rolls over its mobile strategy games rivals in August downloads

Future mobile strategy games of London took advantage of the Discovery Channel’s Shark Week in the U.S. to update its Hungry Shark Evolution game, a move that allowed it to break into the top 10 global downloads.

Meanwhile, King crushed it in China, as Tencent’s localized version of Candy Crush Saga performed well on Tencent’s mobile strategy games and Weixing social networks. That pushed Candy Crush Saga back into the top-10 worldwide download charts. That’s a pretty quick result, as King and Tencent only signed a deal to bring the game to China in April. Tencent and CJ Netmarble also had a hit with Everybody’s Marble, which is integrated into the mobile messaging networks Line, KakaoTalk, and WeChat.

Gameloft also scored with its movie-based Despicable Me game. In late July, it introduced “the Jelly Lab,” enabling the app to grab the No. 4 slot in combined worldwide download charts.

Japan’s SoftBank also had a big month. In August, SoftBank secured a majority stake in the voting stock for Supercell, creator of the No. 1-ranked Clash of Clans (in revenues). Supercell’s Boom Beach also rose in the iOS download charts in August, thanks to a new update.

On Google Play, the Guitar Hero clone Rock Hero rose to No. 4 in the charts in worldwide downloads. The Android game was most popular in the U.S., Brazil, and Mexico. The game was published by Guitar & Music Games.

Disney and Tab Tale moved up in the ranks of downloads with kid-focused mobile games in August. Disney got a boost from the release of Kitchen Scramble, in which players run their own food trucks. Tab Tale broke into the top ten  on iOS with its Airheads Jump platformer mobile strategy games.
