Candy Crush Saga holds the lead on the fastest growing Facebook games by MAU

King.com’s Candy Crush Saga is continuing its impressive winning streak, topping this week’s list of fastest growing Facebook games by monthly active users with a 23 percent gain of 1.4 million MAU.

Two bubble shooters appear in the top five positions on this week’s chart. Peak Games’s new English-language title Lost Bubble debuts on our list in the No. 2 spot, thanks to its gain of 810,000 MAU for an impressive 675 percent increase. Cookapps’s Buggle is in the No. 3 spot with 800,000 MAU for a 57 percent increase.

Disney Playdom’s Marvel: Avengers Alliance is still riding the record-breaking wave of the film The Avengers. The game is in the No. 4 spot with a 700,000 MAU increase, up by 12 percent. GameHouse’s Mystic Ice Blast rounds out the top five games this week with a 500,000 MAU bump, giving it a 36 percent gain.

Only two games on this week’s chart had a gain greater than 25 percent. Disney Playdom’s Armies of Magic took in 400,000 MAU this week for a 22 percent gain, while A&E Television Network’s Top Shot: The Game increased by 180,000 MAU for a 26 percent gain.

Editor’s Note: Due to a delay in Facebook’s updates, this week’s monthly active user list is running today instead of on Monday.
