It Girl, Madden, Warstorm All Do Well on This Week's List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by MAU

This week's AppData list of fastest-growing Facebook games by monthly active users is led by Café World, an older game from Zynga, but CrowdStar's new title It Girl isn't far behind: Top Gainers This Week - Games Name MAU Gain Gain,% 1.

Critter Island 1,264,615 +160,017 +14% Cafe World is rebuilding from a recent dip in its traffic; the past week's gains put it about where it was a month ago. It Girl, on the other hand, is brand new and shooting upward. The one drawback to this fast growth is that It Girl's stickiness is low; only 10 percent of players are currently staying around as daily actives. We reviewed It Girl when it was released. Millionaire City, at number three, has become quite a sizable hit for developer Digital Chocolate. Another week or two should put it past 10 million MAU, which will make it the only game by a developer other than the largest four to pass that point this year. MMA Pro Fighter, at number eight, is also by Digital Chocolate. Coming in just ahead of MMA Pro Fighter, Madden NFL Superstars is showing its muscle, although it's still not clear whether the game is living up to what were probably fairly high expectations from Electronic Arts. And after both is Car Town by Cie Games, which has become a successful mid-sized developer based on that title alone. Finally, as we pointed out last week, Zynga's Warstorm is showing respectable growth. This is a title that Zynga picked up through its acquisition of Challenge Games; while Zynga has gotten rid of most games from its acquisition targets, this one appears to have survived the cull. Warstorm's previous peak was just over 900,000 players in May, a point that it should pass today.
