•Arrows – Puzzle Escape (#1) has finally dethroned the long-reigning Block Blast! after its 57-day streak, which looks like a significant shift in user preference towards more narrative-driven escape room mechanics over pure block-matching.
•The surge of Travel Town - Merge Adventure (+13) and Gossip Harbor® (#4, +4) suggests a strong, sustained appetite for merge games with town-building or story elements, probably because they offer progression beyond individual puzzle sessions.
•New arrivals like Jigsawcard Solitaire Puzzle and Sand Loop indicate developers are testing hybrid genres, though user reviews for these often mention a learning curve before the gameplay clicks.
•Despite the shuffle at the very top, consistent performers like Click X – Tile and DOP: Draw One Part show that simple, satisfying core loops with clear visual feedback still maintain a dedicated player base week after week.
