Sensor Tower Japan reported that Aladdin X’s official iOS release of Suika Game has generated a revenue of almost $2 million. The game made the feat in the first three months after its release in the App Store on January 1, 2024.
Sensor Tower also produced a chart showing the monthly increase in the game’s total revenue. Aladdin X had even already surpassed the $1 million mark within the iOS version’s release month in January 2024.
Suika Game is available as a paid app where people have to first spend 240 yen to access it. Despite the prevalence of free-to-play apps in recent times, that still did not deter people from purchasing the game’s iOS version. In fact, it even ended up dominating the App Store’s paid game ranking.
Another chart from Sensor Tower shows that the iPhone version of Suika Game kept first place for almost the entirety of Q1 2024—save for two days on February 21-22, 2024, when Side Labs’ Coffee Inc 2 claimed the spot. Meanwhile, the iPad version never went below the top 3 ranking spots in the same quarter.
The Android version of Suika Game did not come out until April 2024, but that did not stop the then-iOS-exclusive game from competing with free-to-play apps that are available on both platforms.
In the mobile casual game revenue ranking for Q1 2024, Suika Game reached fifth place behind Toon Blast, Royal Match, Brawl Stars, and Magic Card: Catch the Thief. Suika Game was also the only other Japanese mobile bubble shooting game to generate substantial revenue after Line Bubble 2 in the same period.
Suika Game is officially available on Nintendo Switch, iOS, Android, and Aladdin X’s popIn Aladdin ceiling projectors.
