•Royal Kingdom (#1) has climbed four spots to claim the top position this week, which suggests its fantasy-themed match-3 mechanics are resonating with users who report appreciating the longer campaign structure.
•Despite Block Blast! (#2) dropping a single rank after dominating for 24 days, its sustained performance indicates a deeply engaged player base, likely due to its simple, satisfying block-clearing gameplay.
•The surge of Water Sort Puz - Color Game, which jumped 32 positions, looks like part of a broader trend for liquid-sorting puzzles, probably because their calming, methodical nature suits short play sessions.
•New arrival Sand Loop seems to be testing well with its novel granular physics puzzle, though it remains to be seen if it can challenge the consistent performers like Merge Sticker Playbook 2D that have held their ground for weeks.
