Dog Show Friends is the second fastest grower, with a respectable quarter of a million new users. This 4mm Games title has been around for a while, but only recently started to grow. Overall, it looks like a fairly standard pet-raising game, with some extra mechanics for competition.
Legacy of a Thousand Suns, a space-themed RPG, is headed back into growth after a significant decline post-launch in December; its all-time high was around half a million MAU, which at current rates it could break past in a couple weeks. Eredan iTCG, a similarly geeky card-based RPG, is also climbing again; interestingly, its largest user group appears to be French.
And Friend Stock Market is bringing back a concept that we haven’t seen for quite some time, allowing users to buy and sell their friends on an open market. Sure, many of Facebook’s American users may have bored of this concept two years ago with Friends for Sale!; that doesn’t mean, though, that there isn’t a whole new audience of international users waiting to relive the same experience.
