#hexfrvr

It’s now 20 days since I started distributing Hex FRVR. My hope was that I would be able to push the game into a few app store top lists, by strategically releasing the game to distribution channels in the right order. 

So far, it’s been a huge success!

Since October 4th, ~1.7M users have played ~32M games in ~5M game sessions.

Particularly in Asia the game has taken off. On iOS the game has been in the Chinese top 5 for the board and puzzle past week and the game is currently the number #1 overall game in China on the Google Play store.

However so far, I have not managed to break into the top lists of any major European or American country. 

There is also about 200 hacked versions of the game in about the same amount of 3rd party Chinese app stores which I have no data for. Actually, if you know a good major Chinese publisher, have them reach out to me at [email protected]

The game now seems fairly steady with about 200k DAU playing 2.8 million new games daily.

Sadly the mobile versions are not as great as they could be. So since the game really took off around two weeks ago, I have been very hard at work building improved versions for both iOS and Android. 

With Hex FRVR now live on both Android and iOS it’s time to start distributing the game. Differently from the release of Solitaire FRVR where I did distribution and marketing continuously, I elected to hold off distributing Hex until all platforms where live.

The hope is that using my experience from Solitaire FRVR and stacking the distribution, there is a small chance that I will be able to push the game into a few top lists. Time will tell, and this will be fun!

Here is a quick view of Hex FRVR as it looks today. 

The game is showing some natural growth, but is idling below 300 daily active users. The growth on Android is a result of me jumping the gun and posting two reddit threads in android subreddits when the android version went live.
