Army Themed Strategy Games Top This Week’s List of Fastest-Growing Facebook Games by MAU
Digital Chocolate’s Army Attack tops our top 20 fastest-growing games in terms of monthly active users as tracked by AppData after just over a week’s worth of life on Facebook. A reporting delay from Facebook prevents us from determining just how its growth stacks up against Zynga’s rival game, Empires & Allies, but we think it’s shaping up to be a pretty tight race with Empires & Allies claiming over half a million MAU as of today. Interestingly, Kabam’s army-themed strategy game, Global Warfare, almost placed at number 20 this week at just 2,000 MAU shy of ousting Zombie Lane.
Farther down the list are some familiar favorites, including Playdom’s Gardens of Time and Gaia Online’s Monster Galaxy. Newcomers include wooga’s Happy Hospital and BitRhymes’ Salon Street.

Happy Hospital is a building/decoration game about caring for sick, but cute, animals.
