"Mini Games: Calm & Chill"-Google Play
"Mini Games: Calm & Chill" is a casual game collection released on August 7, 2024. It follows the concept of a compilation of casual gameplay styles, including almost all popular casual gameplay types that have appeared on the market.
It skyrocketed to the top of the Google Play download charts with 20,630,349 downloads this month.
According to
FoxData-Category Ranking, the game went largely unnoticed for the first two months after its release.
However, after appearing on the charts in early October, its ranking quickly rose, and as of November 6, it has maintained the number one spot on the free chart for 28 days.
So, what exactly did "Mini Games: Calm & Relax" do to achieve such a surge in popularity recently?
According to data from FoxData, the game experienced its first breakthrough growth on October 7th.
It was on this day that the game updated its version to include the new "DO RE MI" minigame.
It is evident that this update was a key factor in the game's explosive popularity.
So, what is this "New minigame DO RE MI"?
"DO RE MI" refers to a type of video that began circulating on TikTok in late September.
In these videos, users control a ball to navigate through obstacles by singing the notes do (Do), re (Re), mi (Mi), fa (Fa), sol (Sol), la (La), and ti (Si or Ti), thus completing levels. This can be tentatively called a "pitch accuracy game."
As the videos spread, multiple variations of gameplay emerged. These included imitating animal sounds, saying names, and making sounds while cutting objects, among other forms. These variations attracted more people to try and share the game, increasing its overall popularity.
"Mini Games: Calm & Relax" quickly capitalized on this trend by incorporating related gameplay into their game.
Recently, a new variation where players mimic sounds to control animals to move and jump through levels has further enhanced the game's fun and shareability.
"Mini Games: Calm & Relax" didn't miss out on this trend and swiftly added such gameplay to their game.
On that day, the game's daily downloads peaked at 1,077,822.

The Biggest Gainers in the Top 10
In October, there were three biggest gainers in the Downloads Charts Top 10.
One was "Mini Games: Calm & Relax", which has already been mentioned above.
The others are two newly released apps on the App Store, "沙威玛传奇-中国版" (Shawarma Legend) and "Perfect Tidy," which have skyrocketed from rankings beyond 200 to reach the Top 10 in download charts.
"沙威玛传奇-中国版"(Shawarma Legend)
"沙威玛传奇-中国版" (Shawarma Legend) was released on the App Store on October 10th and, in just 21 days, achieved 4,115,685 downloads, reaching the Top 6 in the App Store download charts.
This is not the first time the game has appeared on the App Store.
"Shawarma Legend" was initially launched on July 19th simultaneously on Steam and various mobile platforms.
The game was taken down in early September due to compliance issues, and October 10th marked its re-release.
After being re-released, the game not only maintained its popularity but also sparked a new wave of enthusiasm in the Chinese market.
One of the key reasons the game stands out from other management games and achieves viral popularity is its highly developed localized content and memes.
The development team of "Shawarma Legend" utilized artificial intelligence technology in the game's creation process, employing AI for art creation, music composition, and voice acting.
AI also played a supportive role in the game's localization for the Chinese market and the presentation of localized content and cultural references.
"Perfect Tidy"
"Perfect Tidy" is a simulation game released on September 24, 2024. In October, it reached the Top 10 in the App Store download charts with 4,090,879 downloads.
According to
Global Downloads, the game's primary user base is in the United States, accounting for 36.77% of its users.
The game "Perfect Tidy" shares similarities with September's biggest winner on Google Play, "Satisroom - organize perfeita" (Satisroom: Perfectly Organize).
These games are similar to the 'satisfying' videos you find on social media, or they could be considered the casual counterparts to a game like "A Little to the Left".
