Pick picture tiles from overlapping layers, place them in the seven slots below, and clear three matching pictures. Covered tiles become available only after the tiles above them are removed. A full holding area stops further moves, so matching pictures also means managing space for the next choice. (WeChat edition overview · Public screen · accessed )
Comment It ranked first on all 30 recent days. Once choosing matching pictures becomes familiar, it offers a benchmark for how much a shrinking holding tray makes the player think about each choice. (Ranking history · accessed)

Eighteen remain, two spots change
Eighteen games from the November 5 list remain. 跳一跳(Tiao Yi Tiao) returned from #23 to #19, while 挑战连连消(Tiaozhan Lianlian Xiao) climbed 43→20 across its two observed days. 对子乐消消(Duizi Le Xiaoxiao) and 毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) fell to #22 and #45, respectively. (November 12 popularity ranking · Previous report · November 5 · accessed)

Puzzles fell from fourteen entries to twelve. However, 吃播大挑战(Chibo Da Tiaozhan) also changed from puzzle in the earlier source to casual in the current one. Keeping its earlier category would give thirteen puzzles this time. The lower genre count does not directly establish lower demand for puzzles. (November 12 popularity ranking · Previous report · November 5 · accessed)
The newly visible 挑战连连消(Tiaozhan Lianlian Xiao) has only two recorded days. The returning 跳一跳(Tiao Yi Tiao) was in the top twenty only on the final two days. Before comparing these games on equal terms with long-standing leaders, watch whether they hold their positions in the next records. (挑战连连消(Tiaozhan Lianlian Xiao) · 跳一跳(Tiao Yi Tiao) · accessed)
Did the puzzle risers remain a week later?
疯狂收杂物(Fengkuang Shou Zawu) had six recorded days in the last report. All thirteen now observed were inside the top ten, and November 6–10 were consistently #2. 不停找找找(Bu Ting Zhao Zhao Zhao) is below the earlier reference date’s #2 but stayed in the top five throughout the past seven days. Both held high positions after their climb. (疯狂收杂物(Fengkuang Shou Zawu) · 不停找找找(Bu Ting Zhao Zhao Zhao) · accessed)
毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) returned to #9 on November 8 before dropping through 15→24→33→45. 对子乐消消(Duizi Le Xiaoxiao) also slipped from #7 to #22 over the past seven days. A brief rebound and holding position afterward are different questions. (毛线通关(Maoxian Tongguan) · 对子乐消消(Duizi Le Xiaoxiao) · accessed)
Teams studying fast risers can compare what remains after the first attention-grabbing moment. Play for equal lengths of time and note the first round’s goal, its reward, and the task waiting on a return visit. Ranking histories help choose the comparison games. Without ad-spend or update data, these differences cannot be attributed to a particular operating activity.
Popularity can rise while revenue rank moves separately
QQ经典农场(QQ Jingdian Nongchang) improved in popularity, 7→4, while revenue rank fell 21→34. 腾讯欢乐斗地主(Tengxun Huanle Doudizhu) also diverged: popularity 4→2, revenue rank 13→18. A popularity climb cannot be read directly as better purchasing results. (QQ经典农场(QQ Jingdian Nongchang) · 腾讯欢乐斗地主(Tengxun Huanle Doudizhu) · accessed)
向末日开炮(Xiang Mori Kaipao) rose on both lists: popularity 13→11 and revenue rank 6→4, with the final three revenue ranks all fourth. Keep it as a comparison with the different outcomes in farming and cards. (Ranking history · accessed)
Reasons to return differ: harvesting and expansion in farming, another match in cards, and growth after combat in survival strategy. Compare where the visit goal meets the purchase goal. With operating data, align the dates for new visits, first-round completion, returns, and the progression stage at which purchases occur.
Comparisons to keep for the design meeting
This list rewards continuing to watch games selected last time, alongside finding new risers. More records distinguish a climb from a sustained position, and a rebound from a recent decline.
| Games to compare | Scenes to watch | Questions to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Puzzles that held high positions and puzzles that fell | The next goal after the first round, and when repeated actions change | What makes a player want more once the initial novelty fades? |
| Farming, cards, and survival strategy | Goals after a return visit, and the moment a purchase choice appears | Are the reason to visit and the reason to pay being assumed to be the same? |
| New and returning entries with short histories | The next daily record and time spent near the top | How many more days can it hold a newly gained rank? Are missing dates being connected without evidence? |
At odd duck, we want to prepare our next game by studying both the first attention-grabbing moment and the goal that brings a player back. We are looking beyond a single high rank for fun that stays with the player afterward.
