Tiles Survive Breakdown: FunPlus goes full Century Games

So, if you look here, the numbers speak for themselves. It's scaling up, doing something like 50K a day currently. Started in March this year. Downloads wise, this is the the kicker that I wanted to show you. So, downloads wise, yeah, they just now that's scaling up pretty high, which is like 60k downloads a day. And if we put the country filter and we're rolling [music] with those coins worlds chasing the [music] sky with the two and a half game the midnight crew talking UAS and game design too bringing the insight we're rocking those vibes till the early day [music] master eyes on the prize tracking data through the cyerspace skies. Felix stats like a wizard in disguise. [music] Jacks up to the highest. Two and a half gamers talking smack. Slow hockey sick. Got your back. [music] Ads are beautiful. They light the way. Click it fast. Don't delay. Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. [music] Alive in August. [music] I hope so. Hey Mache, have you been exploring, expanding, exploiting, and exterminating?
Yes,
as usual. As usual. And I hope our dear listeners were doing the same thing because today we're going back to our good old Forex days again.
What do you mean good old? Nothing nothing has changed.
Whatever. Like they're just doing the best they ever did.
Okay. Okay. So, we're going to the Forex waters again. It's better. Is better. Okay.
Yeah, for sure.
Okay. Welcome everybody.
I'm Felix Robberg.
And
we are
your host.

Woohoo. Okay. Thanks for listening. See you. See you next week. Jesus [laughter] [ __ ] Christ. It's going to be a lot of fun as usual.
It always is. It's is always fun. Numbers or game? I have no preference our listeners and yeah and viewers and or whoever. Okay, let's
always say we should start with the game.
Let's do game until my baby is still manageable with like spectating me.
Yeah. Anyway, so we have a new game from Fun Plus called Tiles Survive. Interesting name.
And it's not fun minus finally. Yeah, I think this is the most uh
nice
like promising game that we covered from F plus for quite some time.
Yeah, because they literally went like copy last last war for survival and [laughter] that's it.
I mean, [sighs]
yeah,
I don't judge.
So, yeah, no more shenanigans with DC, IP, Batman, whatever something like

literally this game is already doing better in my opinion than that game, but we'll compare afterwards. Anyway, so you start the game. It seems to me that there's no miniame actually within the game or I haven't seen really one. It's just go straight into the typical idle meta of uh century games where you have these buildings where you need to upgrade, you know, the bed, the toilet, second bed, yada yada yada yada, the idle part. At some point reactor gets uh switched on. Everything is built kind of around and this is the main building. There's no temperature or whatever kind of thing like frozen city had. So I guess throughout the iterations of like dark war and everywhere we can get rid of that mechanic even though there's still this kind of a health issue something. I don't even know where it is honestly where like your people has some

here. I didn't know where it is basically but somewhere
it is where you watch this it's not that where you favor
have a friendship
thank you somewhere here maybe
where are you trying to find
I'm trying to find the survivors like health and everything and like the building with like you making sure that nobody is dead because you have enough food and like all these meters that still pretends ah here we are yeah here is the one so you are populating all of these things and then you have these two stats that that's what I wanted to find the original if I understand has four you just have two so it's like simplify simplify simplify and like you go so up until point like first half an hour this is basically century games then at some point this kind of a typical road collection stuff battle kind unlocks

where you go through this like scripted road of encounters. We had uh our narrator Lucky was the character
defense.
Oh, no. She was the one that got uh Yeah. Where she is? Here she is. Yeah. She got she got captured by uh the zombies and like poisoned and whatever. You need to find serum for her. At least it's not like half that dog that then then sit in your base as an offer. So again, pretty much did everything that uh dark did.
But keep in mind this is dark war because dark war is the combination of last war and
century survival kind of a on boarding together because dark war also has this kind of a road thing where you have this kind of character being kidnapped by the narrator blah blah blah. You need to save him. And you also have this idol city thing going on with this kind of

people populating these buildings and like literally like these houses kind of tell it the way immediately like this is century games kind of template. So they're pretty much going after dark which is the modern template one but there's no miniame. So after you go through these kind of hoops and whatever like here is where I ended. This is here. Here I have like even an optional battle here which I think we're going to fight on just to see. Uh so they they don't have gates mechanic. They don't have whatever invasions like king show. They don't have nothing basically. It's just pure like these AFK arena style combat situations. And that's it like that. That's not really something to it. So it's I would say just simplification of the bread and butter what like dark war did which dark war is going to I think doing already million a day or something like that. It seems the interesting part which they did actually they tied this road to a little bit more

progression because at some point when you save the lucky girl and you get this kind of a infected mystery thing which is like a pretty much another road and you need to go and collect all these things like minor infected and I can go there because I need to clear exploration level 20 unlock power pen level 11. So it basically like gates your progression because in in dark war or in last war survival so basically bold the river game games games you can kind of skip these things and you can just go on and like I don't really care I guess you need a little bit you need to care a little bit more. So we'll see regarding the other unusual mechanics. We have our favorite sonar thing where there's this like small plane that at some point can goes away and unlocks the map. That's like really typical thing. Nothing really to it. The map is just there and it's full of these kind of

reactors which are the players and then it's
the zombies are there. So all good.
Exactly. And keep in mind by the way that like the whole theme of this I mean like literally the whole visual and art is basically Last War in a little bit more comicy style. Exactly. Everything's the same like zombie apocalypse survival
way more cartoonish.
Yeah. Yeah.
I guess I said is is this kind of a different a little bit more different bright art style but regarding the like the content and the actual setting. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly the same. I mean like one to one. So, so that's there. So they finally somebody at FPA said like why why do we keep doing these experimental iteration there? Why don't we just go in a bread and butter?
So they finally I think found themselves and yeah all the other liveop stuff is the typical thing here. So there the login thing. We don't have the first buy

on the hero that's like dying in the middle of the base or whatever that River Game always does. They just have normal offers here. Then they have pretty packed event pipeline and that's like the the typical stuff. Like I don't really think there's like anything to it. Then we have all of these kind of slots and lanes such as troop training, research training, I don't know, constructions, like everything's kind of the same. I think one mechanic that I saw was different was these like d dispatches which if you remember in u last war this is the trucks mechanic where you can like pillage the trucks and send them for like two hours like like and you just select the hero yeah dispatch and that's it and like it goes I don't know if it's even sending somebody oh it's not it's just like somebody went there that's it so they they again simplify simplify simplify, but it's mostly all the same.

Yeah, as my daughter says,
she agrees.
Yeah, she's seen so many so many Forexes by this time. It's like, yeah,
yeah, I've seen this already. It's fine.
All the other things here are kind of the same. Like don't really see anything difference like very few heroes actually. And the gacha is again very very cutthroat. Like you literally Yeah. You have this train animation.
Yeah. Don't skip it. Don't Don't
I'm not skipping it.
Woo. What do we have here?
Nothing. Awesome.
Nothing.
Awesome.
A lot of time you get literally nothing. That that's this the shitty part that you get fragments like I think once I got the hero actual like hero that I could use like it's like uh not good. But then the heroes themselves, you have a lot of layers such as skills, you have their gear, you have the stats that you need to upgrade these kind of tokens which are again the

star ratings. It's kind of very very typical like the usual setup. I don't think so that there's like something as I said the only thing that I saw regarding the difference between last war or dark war or pretty much against dark war is that this road of these like scripted encounters that you go through and the game kind of tries to walk you through it is a little bit more tied to the actual progression. You can really skip it and just not know interact with it like before. But they don't have any mini game in it. That is really surprising to me. I'm really looking forward like how the creatives will look because again
no gates, no
no gates at all,
no invasion, no
CPI reduction.
Yeah. Yeah. So a CPS reduction is there different.
Zombies are like already on on like the the the thing. But yeah, it's it's just bread and butter dark war like simplified dark war. I would say that that's it pretty much. Yeah. Like I I don't know like maybe if

I played a little bit more there's some difference between the
live exactly the same
of course not but I guess the live will be different because you can copy that immediately but the onboarding and the first like I've played this for three days yeah it's it's kind of at the same not not really much to it like yeah what what can you do if all these systems are already kind of so good that like why shouldn't you reinvent the wheel which they did with DC and we see how that happened. Yeah. Yeah. We you can you can you can showcase that as well. I mean there's nothing else.
Uh yeah, that's it. Like nothing really to it. So if you look here, the numbers speak for themselves. It's scaling up. Doing something like 50k a day currently. Started in March this year. Downloads wise, this is the the kicker that I wanted to show you. So downloads wise, yeah, they just now start scaling up pretty high, which is like 70k downloads a day.
And if we put the the the the country filter, Mr. Mr.
Yeah, country filter as you want.
How is it scaling so quickly, though?

They know what to do.
No, look at the Yes. Look at the
Yeah, it's Russia. It's Russia. That's why I was like, "Ah,
yeah. This the catch. That there's the catch."
Yeah. But, uh, still, nonetheless,
I told you, "Not so fast, Mr. Jakob. Not so fast. DC dark legion. Yeah, which uh if we take this out. Yeah, downloads is like 14k out of those 14k for now.
Yeah, it's 3k it's US.
Yeah, 3 4k is US. But the revenue is on a very strong downward trend because they just, you know, run out of that

initial cohort, I guess.
Terrible.
Yeah, bad.
So, it's still a day, but again,
yeah, exactly.
It's just going down. Is going to like worse.
I mean, obviously, if you have such a small user base now, it's going to go
Yeah. So, in my opinion, the game even though it's on scaled on Russian traffic or whatever, by the
way, you are still the Dark Legion.
Yeah. Yeah. That's what I wanted to show you that like it user base is going down basically. Like everything is going down for this game. So, I would still expect that by the end of the year the tile survive game or whatever the dark work will be will be fairing better than this game. So I guess yeah
keep in mind this game also is chained down by royalties.
Yes on top of it I can I can agree with that.
Yeah DC part
the CPI really helped them that much like if you if you look at their overall

like what they're currently doing regarding revenue side. Yeah, this is still the biggest game currently, but yeah, I guess it's a matter of time.
Storm's still doing three mill.
Yeah, I was doing five.
Ah, yeah. Like everything's going
years ago.
Yeah, I'm super
They really need to put their [ __ ] together because Yeah, I guess Century Games and River Games just going to run over them. So, I guess
they already did.
They already Yeah. See, this is the This is
What kind of dinosaur is that?
This?
Yeah. Sad dinosaur.
It's helix fossil.
The one you find in museums.
Yeah. Fun minus. It is.
Yeah. Fun minus. But yeah, nowhere near close their peak in December 2020 when they were doing like 90 million a month when now they're doing like one third of

that.
Yeah. But that's good old days.
Yeah, that's good days. The good old days where white out survival and Frozen City were not roaming around.
Yeah. And last word either.
Yeah, exactly. So, I'm I'm I'm just thinking that like these guys finally had some game that was like, let's
Yeah. No, no. Let's just follow what what the top top top uh you know, top games are doing and and we'll see. and seems to is working for them instead of like all of these because even all these other games they aren't really following that uh setup like even Stormshot they had still that on boarding setup with like fake mini games and the dancing pirate and blah blah blah but it wasn't still on the level of sophistication of century games or river game. No, because I think it was it was launched before that even.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly. So, Storm Shoot is when Storm Shoot is uh Yeah, this red red thing here. So, it's what like September 2022.

Yeah. Told you it was before
something like that. So, yeah. So, yeah, it's just that, you know, game times moved. Well, we have zero ads, I assume.
Zero
as usual.
Best ads.
The best ads. No,
no, that's not true.
No, that's not true. Exactly. It's not true.
They do have some some videos and stuff.
I'm curious to see the Russian creatives. They seem to be vibing a lot with Russia, right?
I don't think we are going to see them here. Oh, maybe we will with with applying actually cuz they they start running quite a lot of applying stuff. But I'm trying I'm kind of going in here for June before started scaling because they only had Facebook and up in but still running way more stuff on uh on Facebook and I want to show you

how different this is [laughter] from your Oh wow. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I remember now. This has this like polytopia vibe.
Yeah, this is very different vibe from the all the creatives that you
Yeah, like resource gathering. What? Something something.
That's exactly what what we can see here. It's all about resource management for some reason.
What?
Looks like some simulation game.
Yeah, but you know how it is.
AI. There we go.
AI. AI it is. And again, like I've we've seen this before. All of these it's resource management kind of townshipy
golden goblins.
Golden goblins. Exactly. That's the that's the different that's an additional creative that we are going to are going to see as well. But it's like yeah kind of resource management that they
That's interesting. Yeah.
Resource overloads and like this um dynamites. I think we saw it before as

well on some other game, but um
it's way different from what you you're used to see in the
This is golden goblins. Yeah.
Golden goblins. That shredder tells you the way.
Yeah. Yeah. Look.
Hello.
Yeah. Thank you very much. It was like Okay. Yeah. I've seen this before.
Just interesting how golden goblins works for everything pretty much. because it's idle, man. Like it's uh it's idle. It's complex and you just uh you just get these resources, shred it, get golds, and upgrade and then do it again. But
everybody understands the theme of rising numbers. Yeah. Yeah.
That's why we have idol on every single Forex and the onboarding funnel.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's true. But this is just kind of all resource management, which is interesting because I was really looking forward to see something else. But it's all resources. It's like But

tile, it's still all within the the tiles. And I'm going to show you some of the other kind of AI stuff.
Was it a salmon farm?
Yeah.
Ooh, hooks.
They have hooks. And it's kind of, you know, connected quite quite nicely. But again, like what what is this? Golden goblins.
Yeah, this is golden goblins
all over again. Golden goblins all over again. Man, it's so good. I wonder if they they have Oh, that's a nice octopus.
Nice octopus. Now, see if they just have a web shop here, then maybe get more more gold. More gold there, right? Because
everyone needs
Yeah, exactly. Everybody, everybody needs a web show because this episode is brought to you by Fast Spring, which has

delivered D2C at scale for over 20 years and they power top mobile publishers around the world. So, you know, most probably uh and plus as well, we don't know. Maybe yes, maybe no. Uh as a no drama DTOC partner with real world experience at scale, Fast Spring uh is a partner you can trust with your players and to get more money out of your player store. Quickly launch a new web store or replace existing D2C vendor at fastspring.gg. So head to fastpring.gg and start your your web shop right away. It's very easy to set up. And we have more creatives. Way way more creatives. This
This is the fun plus one.
This What do you mean fun plus one?
Fun Plus has these like you saving things with like symbols on top of their heads like
like the the dark legion kind of.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This the signature fun plus forex creators.
This is not This is
This is not but this
Yeah. The beginning was Yeah. Yeah, this this
I mean I was really kind of expecting this like this looks exactly like something else obviously but like I wouldn't I would kind of watch this as like okay it's more close to train station than the Forex game. I don't get this whole like even the name of the game like tiles because you see clearly that there are these like environmental tiles looks like civilization or something. There's nothing of it in the game.
Yeah, maybe this only the
zero.
But come on, Forex is not like known for the genre where they're truthful and they're creative.
Sure, sure. Sure.
I know. But at least the name supposed to
but just you in
it's just uh maybe
truth era

post fact era. Yeah, I know.
Cuz look, I mean,
this guy,
the CEO will explain
he's a
Yeah, no [ __ ] Sherlock
100%.
Of course, he is. It's just our games totally free, packed with gifts, rewards, and you know, not enough players are playing it. It's so funny. But it's like they like he's kind of selling it as like an adventure game, resource management, building, shelter, whatever. Like, come on. Really? He's lying of mate.
Who had this? Like this is golden goblins of century games. The one with like this kind of a string which you
dig around.
Vital struggle.
Vital struggle.
This is this is almost like the Dark Legion creative. It's almost like almost the same.
Yeah.
Everything's dark legion is from this end farm view.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Also, if you download with the link from this creative, you will get $100 of worth of

stuff
gems and prizes. It's not going to happen.
Of course, it's not. Oh, that's nice.
Yeah, this is pretty cool.
Snow.
Yeah, it's like
best game creative. Best survival game.
I mean, yeah, this doesn't matter. We should do that for our podcast stuff like make a you know nice uh
promo mean you mean nice nice award.
Yeah nice award best mobile gaming photo.
We already do that only if we we ever done that before.
I love I love that cuz like most people thought it was a funny joke and there was like 2% of people like how dare you and you're like yeah
no 80% of people thought it was real. That was the problem.
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. 80% of people thought it was real. Like majority, well, not majority, but the like 20% or 15% it's a joke. And then 5% is like, "How dare you?" And look.

Whoa.
Like now we're kind of starting to see all the fun stuff and fun plus I guess. No. Like all resource management.
This is century games. Instead of snow, you have mud.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Who cares? But you have the tiles, right? It's tiles everywhere,
which whatever that means. But yeah, look, it seems tiles.
Yeah, exactly.
The question is, does it work if it's just, you know, third world traffic like you like you saw
third world traffic?
Oh, like I mean now, but
no, not scaling in US.
Well, for now, we'll see. The thing is
it's very Yeah. Yeah. Because they started scaling like a week ago, right? So,
yeah. Yeah. Like very very
Yeah. Because this also kind of look
few days ago even this creatives also this it's quite new but I'm kind of surprised that this is running on YouTube or Google

and they are getting traffic from Russia because on Google Russia is banned from what I know. So I was kind of uh thinking it's going to be up loving mainly but I guess it is just these are the just the new creatives that they have on on Google but the revenue is coming from US revenue is like 26% US then Germany
they start also running a new let's let me check for a week like the last week like whatever that this is kind of admob it's like oh man like it's scaling on Google mainly She's in.
Whoa.
Interesting. Yeah,
great hook. That was a good hook.
They are Yeah, they're doing some some interesting stuff on the on the US side. Definitely with the the different hooks and and the creatives. I mean, this is kind of what we saw before, but but most of it is is if I understand the bread and butter like competition

concepts, isn't it?
And this is nice.
Yeah, this is again very cool. The same with the Minecraft twist.
Yeah. AI. Yeah. Yeah.
That's very nice.
Hey, Kingshot has had it.
Kingshot already had it.
Had the Minecraft stuff.
Okay.
You know what I'm surprised not seeing here? Like more people using this whole Coldplay CEO being busted thing in the creative.
Actually, the the CEO kind of Oh, you mean that? Yeah, but kind of CEO talking to whoever like employees and stuff like that. What uh Micro Fund was doing with uh Seaside Escape. That's a trend that I kind of see more often.
They ran, by the way, a video with GW palro yesterday.
Yeah, I saw that. That's really funny.
Damage control one.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay, let's see what else we have.

It's quite a lot of stuff actually. Is that Woody from Wish? Oh,
kind of.
What is this? Yeah, it's familiar, but not really.
Yeah, I mean,
yeah, it's familiar from Rick and Morty. There's exactly that you mentioned.
Yeah. Yeah.
Okay.
Definitely it. And then what's
idle lumber on the background? Yep. In the meantime.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Of course. screen electricity. We saw that before. So, it's like again like you you mentioned like no no mini games obviously, but yeah, like
I was expecting some tile stuff. I don't know like even even
tile stuff. What what like what do you mean tile stuff?
Some biomes or I don't know like you would be because it's literally dark war like the road and everything. It's like nothing really to it.

Yeah. Yeah, I mean
because if you take for instance, let's take like I don't know Lens of Jail. Lens of Jail also does this that they also use the idol. Wow.
This is nice.
I mean, you know, like the music is absolutely amazing.
Mhm. This is really nice.
It's really good,
man. That is some trippy stuff.
Yeah. Very. Yeah.
Very nice. Is Little Red Riding Hood.
Yeah.
Just doing a Right. Okay.
Yeah. Just taking LSD.
Yeah. Like after after hearing to that music 100%.
Lucy Sky with diamonds.
Now we're talking.
Also nice music here.
Nice AI.
Yeah. I mean we are on Facebook so that's exactly what I want to show you. It's kind kind of consistent, right?
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah, but that's the thing I wanted to tell you that if you take Lens

of Jail, Lens of Jail took Century Games idol on boarding and then put the jail team with all of its twists on top of it. So, it's a little bit more unique. It's not just like Dark War copy. This seems to me like dark simplified copy,
but you were also kind of saying it's good that they started finally copying what works.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's that's the other thing.
I mean, step by step do the thing. Yeah.
Yeah. Step by step, right? So now they're kind of on to something and
they need to first master the template then they can improve it.
Strategy art. So
Oh my god. Look. This is exactly Golden Goblins.
Yeah.
But it's cannabis.
But it's with weed. Yeah.
Oh boy. But yeah, this is definitely Golden Gies,
of course.
Yeah, but like it's exactly like one to one. Okay. Nice. Actually, I like this. Lots of concepts,
lots of
best strategy game, best survival game says I don't know
2025.

So good.
Five stars. Yeah, it's pretty good. And also another AI, another best survival game. So
yeah. Oh, nice. And again, something that's not really in the game.
This genre. Seriously, like how come the people who play it? Yeah,
it just works. Zombies incoming.
By the way, I still don't get it. Why don't we have more zombie movies if this is everything so popular? Like every single Forex game is nearly about zombies.
No, but like before before the whole superhero thing, everything was zombies like
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
Really? What? I know like three or four. Like there's not.
Is there more?
But no, but like you have Walking Dead anyway, which is pretty big big franchise. Last of Us as well, which is I mean kind of based on the game, but still big like movie that I remember is the one with Brad Pit the what was it? World War Z or something.
Yeah, but movies is not where it's at anymore, man. Like it's all about TV

shows. Like movies aren't really that big anymore.
Yeah, I guess so. Yeah. Atomic Bomberman. Okay, thank you.
Yeah, there atomic bomberman.
Yeah, he's of course it's atomic bomber.
Oh, wow. I mean, a lot of cards get crushed. It's just great. You stop always to look at it. Yeah. Yeah.
Satisfying hook from real life.
Yeah. And
Yeah. And they're actually Yeah. doing quite a lot of different concepts. So, I mean,
collection upgrades or whatnot. Zombie mammoth.
Zombie mammoth.
Draining lake.
Oh my god. Oh, and then white survival again. Yeah, that's why they know what they they should copy. This was in white out as well, I think.
Yeah. Before. So, I mean, all in all, I'm pretty satisfied with
impressed. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Very

impressed.
How long they worked on this?
H
How long do you think they worked on this game before they released it?
How long?
Yeah. I mean, we have the
I think it's the first time they're using the century games template, isn't it? Right. So, I guess a lot because you need to first time you need to really like, you know, put the foundation down so you can
you have the march, but I think it was way
you know a year before, right?
Fas was running all these other tests with like
I know. Yeah. Yeah. Lots of different things. Yeah.
What was it? You remember the one where it's like like Honey, I shrunk the kids movie like in like your garden and everything.
You have all of these defenses.
Tiny Heroes was it or something?
Yeah, tiny whatever. Z defense survival. Oh, I wonder what is it based on? Misty continent was the like one of the the white out survival. Tiny survivors.
Yeah, there there it is.
That's like it's all here. So
I think our our friend Ning is on that one

on this one.
Survivor. Yeah. Okay, now we'll see. We'll see. And then last domain survival. Oh, again. Yeah. So, so maybe this wasn't the first time that they had the template, but I think it was the first time for the specific dark war template because dark war template is an upgrade of the river game template. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's see. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All the fun stuff. So, okay. I mean, pretty good. Well, uh I wonder like if they if they go all over these like different games like do you think they have uh they have benchmarks for them?
They need some benchmarks otherwise it's going to be difficult.
I know right because this this episode is brought to you by our friends PVX partners. Knew it. And if it's, you know, they have this great product called PVX Lambda, you know, it's a game changer because UA data can feel a little bit like a black box and if you're doing so many games,

you definitely need benchmarks. You plug it into your MMP and boom, within one hour you get clean and clear robust benchmarks, retention insights and even forecast probably, you know, forecast or whatever the data you want have you want to have or whether you're ready for funding. So no fluff, no dashboards from hell, just real answers 100% free. Go check out pvxpartners.com/lambda and get your growth strategy on point. pvxpartners.com/lambda all the benchmarks you can can have. So that's amazing. That's amazing. And I think that's pretty much okay. I can I want to share also one last thing which is the creative gallery and just check out uh the July and Apple loin only. So I was trying to get some

playables but it's only on like a interactive end card. And here okay here we have playable. Okay nice which is yeah started scaling and this might be your century games. Yeah.
Yeah. Century games 101. just instead of killing uh bears hunting fish.
Yeah, he's just hunting fish.
So funny sometimes when I work with studios and they're like, "Yeah, we don't do fake creatives." I'm like, "Yeah, you're going to lose."
Yeah. I was like, "Yeah, we don't do play fake creat." Okay, that's fine.
I don't think so. Like there's any game on the top. Maybe Monopoly go. Yeah, I guess maybe or somebody that that does doesn't do fake creatives.

Yeah, that much or at all. Okay, we started work anyway. Look, look who's Ants Underground. And the best Oh, there's so many awards.
Yeah, four award. Oh, wow. Art
six. Oh, game of the year. Strategy.
Best story game.
Best story game. Art 2025. Okay. Game of the Year.
What is this like Tribeca Festival template or what's the like the thing?
Any festival? It's like Hondur whatever.
Yeah, you've seen it on movie posters. So that's why you make the association.
Yeah. What's the strategy? I kind of missing one important thing which was the the Apple Notes kind of thing that Hab was doing. This is that kind of goes hand in hand with all this a man.
What's that? Click on it.
No, it's static image.
Static image. Okay, static image.
It's like monkey island.

That's only because of the the dark blue and and
kind of Yeah, that's main complaints. But it's coal, I guess. Or what is it supposed to be?
Well, they can't put gold coal, I guess, immediately in it.
They have the They have the power plant in so cold. It's not It's not Golden Goblins, man. It's Township.
Yes, it's Township.
Although Although Township is Golden Goblins.
Everything's Everything.
Everything is Golden Oblies.
By the way, FYI, Township is currently
at is best game.
Just checking it today.
And they don't have ads. Oh, and they should have Yeah,
maybe they honestly they really should level 500 500,000.
No, they don't. No, like No, they have some ads on some of their games, but it's only from a cohort from 2018.

Oh, okay.
Maybe you can go on LinkedIn and just a piece of few people to see.
Already did.
Okay, enough I guess of all of these. So, all in all, I'm very pleasantly surprised what I see. If this game is kind of terms of that the game KPI is good enough then this could scale. I don't see scaling to
it's 10k US downloads by the way not just to Russia that we saw there.
Yeah. Yeah. But still I don't see this scaling like anywhere near like the 1 million a month as uh dark war or
1 million a day. You mean
a day? Yeah a day. Sorry. 1 million a day.
But I guess it's important because he's showing a shift, right? fun plus copying century games like a new template, right? So yeah,
they were copying even before but I guess now they kind of copied the really really top top one because it's literally like I think like dark war is the one that's used specifically this one which is a combination of century

plus river game. So I guess they they're just kind of going all in now after or or maybe this is just one of those other things.
We shouldn't forget fun plus knows quite well century games. Century games X plus the other way around.
Yeah. Yeah, for sure. It's going to be interesting. On one side, I'm really glad that they're going for top of the top of the funnel solution now. Like they they really took I think the best kind of template that they could.
The other the other thing I'm kind of surprised that they didn't add any iteration in it like the EWorld guys, the Lens of Jail guys did already, which they already kind I think they're ahead of them and we can see it on Lens of Jail scaling up. But uh yeah, as Felix said is first you need to master the template, then you can improve it. So still better than the DC dark world thing, which is horrible in my opinion.
Legion Legion. Yeah, it's going to be dark world for it. Anyway, it's going to be end of the world for them for sure. And this is the end of the the podcast. Thank you very much for listening.
