Mobile’s the Right Situation for Comedies

Literally “Love Apartment,” this show has been likened to a Chinese version of Friends. Its fourth season recently debuted, catapulting it to the upper ranks of the played videos among other rom-coms, which have proved a popular diversion for Chinese mobile users.

Other fast-growing romantic comedies include the online original Diary of a Loser and My Love from the Stars, a Korean import widely popular across Asia.

This month certain popular TV shows led to corresponding downloads for spinoff games, both officially branded games, as well as those who capitalized on name similarities.

Coinciding with the new season of iPartment, a game launched featuring the show’s main characters battling in various scenes from popular culture such as Transformers and Star Wars.

Both the Chinese animated show The Legend of Qin and its official game saw triple-digit growth rates, and two games of the popular gem-popping genre benefited from containing “Star” in their name, calling to mind the popular Korean show My Love from the Stars.

The Kids Come First3The top new game for this month is actually a game for children. Part of the Chicken Jojo line of games, Super Doctor is an example of Wandoujia’s unique “Children’s Puzzles” category. As a country that dotes on its only children and frets about their education, China is a ripe market for developers looking to serve the right content to the youngest players.

Wandoujia Exclusive Launch Showcase

Rayman: Jungle Run

Ubisoft’s Rayman: Jungle Run, winner of the title of “Best of 2012” in the iTunes App Store, is going to launch its Chinese Android version exclusively with Wandoujia. This campaign will provide the best promotion resources available in the Wandoujia client, a specially-designed landing page, and huge media exposure. Wandoujia looks forward to partnering with more and more high quality games like Rayman to tap into the huge Chinese market! Who’s next?

Rayman: Jungle Run Exclusive Launch Campaign130,000+ downloads in the first week

China is the world’s largest smartphone market. But it’s a black hole for app data. Mobile research firms use Google Play data, which works for most of the world, but not for China. Nine out of ten new smartphones sold in China run Android, but developers are left in the dark. !Here at Wandoujia, we decided to change that. As an Android mobile search engine with 300 million users, we decided to shine a light on the market. We hope it will encourage more foreign developers to come to China.

Methodology: !• Top New: Launched within the last 60 days. • Fastest Growing: Highest growth-rate this month, relative to an average of the previous 3 months. • App data is carefully screened to eliminate ‘zombie downloads’ • All data is from the Wandoujia platform, with 300 million+ Android users in China.
