When we first looked at Nordeus’s Top Eleven last fall, we called it for a “slow burn” kind of game that appeals to a dedicated core audience of soccer fan. The game eventually made number three on our list of the top five soccer games by traffic after breaking 2 million monthly active users. Top Eleven’s DAU is showing a similar climb, hitting at over 580,000 this week.
AddictingGames, meanwhile, is a portal of several different game types such as Spite Cannon 2 (pictured). The Facebook app comes from the online games portal of the same name. We saw this app spike in both MAU and DAU in early February; though it makes our list this week for DAU growth, AddictingGames is nowhere near the levels it saw in February.
Last but not least is Doomsday Defense, a game from browser massively multiplayer online game developer IGG (I Got Games). We saw IGG game, GodsWar Online hit our growth lists back in January. Look for our review of Doomsday in the next week.
All data in this post comes from our traffic tracking service, AppData. Stay tuned for our look at the top weekly gainers by daily active users on Wednesday, and the top emerging apps on Friday.
