Dinos and Backyard Monsters on This Week's List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by DAU

Our weekly AppData list of fastest-growing Facebook apps by daily active users doesn't offer a up many new facts: Digital Chocolate is still dominating the top of the list with four of the top ten gainers, while a few smaller developers have also done well. But as always, there are a few observations to offer on the list: Top Gainers This Week - Games Name DAU Gain Gain,% 1. Hollywood City 375,059 +225,676 +151% 2. 恐龍王國 431,378 +209,998 +95% 3. Ravenwood Fair 423,210 +207,078 +96% 4. Pet Society 2,221,119 +157,005 +8% 5. Vegas City 199,744 +153,269 +330% 6. Island God 148,867 +119,806 +412% 7. It Girl 737,510 +93,367 +14% 8. Backyard Monsters 739,846 +89,619 +14% 9. Millionaire City 2,718,297 +87,943 +3% 10. Bubble Island 1,069,382 +86,319 +9% 11. Game of Truth 103,722 +78,701 +315% 12. Hunch 79,337 +75,538 +1,988% 13. PetVille 1,577,066 +70,988 +5% 14. Monster World 999,510 +68,686 +7% 15. Wild Ones 578,304 +64,702 +13% 16. Okey 678,240 +61,496 +10% 17. JibJab 98,495 +60,487 +159% 18. Crime City 716,881 +53,491 +8% 19. La Ferme 108,084 +52,479 +94% 20. Lucky Train 335,846 +51,713 +18% 恐龍王國, which means "Dino Age", comes in as the second-place game. We've seen this title before, but haven't made much note of it; the developer is unlisted, and of course, it's in Chinese. But if you can get by clicking random buttons (or, even better, actually read Chinese) it's an interesting-looking game. The thrust is that it's a Stone Age builder, but there are a few more unusual-looking features too, like fighting off the dinosaurs. LOLapps' newest game Ravenwood Fair comes in third, but its gain is actually a regain, with DAU streaming back this week following a one-week suspension of viral channels for the game by Facebook. It's followed by Pet Society, a large title that is also just fluctuating. After a plateau toward the end of October, It Girl appears to be back on her game, with 93,367 new DAU. It's followed by an older title, Casual Collective's Backyard Monsters, whose steady growth over a period of months suggests that it eventually will join Kingdoms of Camelot as one of Facebook's few large strategy games.
