Chinese gamers are relatively new to the scene. With console systems banned for 13 years
and private computers limited to the wealthy, video games rarely spread beyond dark,
internet cafes. Affordable smartphones have changed that. Now, several classics have a
chance to reach a whole new market of users missed the first time around.

Classic Games Enjoy
a Second Spring
The scrolling vertical shooter
is an instantly recognizable
arcade genre. Ranking fourth
among new games, this
remake proves this classic
game design is just as tough
and fun playing with a
touchscreen as a joystick.

Other titles like Happy Farm and Rayman: Jungle Run invoke nostalgia for players
of their previous versions, but now make use of mobile game mechanics to inspire
a new generation of would-be fans.

In the West, web-era social giants like Facebook are trying to regain mobile users by
de-bundling their services into different apps. Meanwhile China blossoms with social
network apps acutely focused on building communities around niche interests.
Social De-bundling:
Different Interests, Different Apps2
Nice
Monthly Downloads: 48k
Nice is a social photo-sharing
app that lets users stamp their
photos with tags and find new
friends with shared interests.
Brand aficionados can bond
over showing off their collections,
while individualists can carve out
niches like “Tattoo Addicts,”
“Travel is My Antidote,” and
“Vintage Bicycling.”
Less glamorous, text-heavier social apps rose to the top by tapping into Chinese passions
for sports and humor. Onion Ring updates users with the scores for their favorite sports
teams and allows them to join groups to discuss league news. Joking Jianghu is an
anonymous platform for sharing jokes, many of which have a sharp social edge.

Diplomacy Cools, But
Japanimation Is Still Hot3
Tensions between China and Japan flare regularly, mostly recently over competing claims to the
Diaoyu Islands. Many Chinese boycott products imported from Japan. However, video play
counts and video search queries tell a different story: Japanese animation is still in demand.

Diplomacy Cools, But
Japanimation Is Still Hot3
When it comes to animation, many Chinese lament their own country’s meager offerings
and acknowledge Japan’s superior craftmanship. While Japanese cars and restaurants
are easy to make public example of, appreciating imported video content is lower key.

Wandoujia Exclusive Launch
Showcase
Rayman: Jungle Run
Ubisoft’s Rayman: Jungle Run, winner of the title of “Best of 2012” in the iTunes App Store, is going to
launch its Chinese Android version exclusively with Wandoujia. This campaign will provide the best
promotion resources available in the Wandoujia client, a specially-designed landing page, and huge
media exposure. Wandoujia looks forward to partnering with more and more high quality games like
Rayman to tap into the huge Chinese market! Who’s next?
Rayman: Jungle Run Exclusive Launch Campaign
130,000+ downloads in the first week
China is the world’s largest smartphone market. But it’s a black hole
for app data. Mobile research firms use Google Play data, which
works for most of the world, but not for China. Nine out of ten new
smartphones sold in China run Android, but developers are left in the
dark.
!
Here at Wandoujia, we decided to change that. As an Android
mobile search engine with 350 million total installs, we decided to
shine a light on the market. We hope it will encourage more foreign
developers to come to China.
Methodology:
!
• Top New: Launched within the last 60 days.
• Fastest Growing: Highest growth-rate this month, relative to an average of the previous 3 months.
• App data is carefully screened to eliminate ‘zombie downloads’
• All data is from the Wandoujia platform, with 350 million+ installs in China.
About the Mobile Search Index
http://appindex.wandoujia.com
The China partner for app developers
Wandoujia’s editorial team is always on the lookout for the best
new apps. That definitely includes apps from foreign developers!
We’ve partnered with Flipboard, EverNote, Pocket, and LINE to do
exclusive launches and promotions in China.

Complete media management
Wandoujia is for more than just apps. Our PC suite makes it
super-easy for users to manage all of their content. That
includes movies, TV shows, music, and e-books too.

The place for mobile gamers
Wandoujia is the easiest way to reach a massive audience
of gamers in China. For developers, our app promotion
system makes it easy to be discovered and our payment
SDK makes it easy to get paid.

  • 3. Chinese gamers are relatively new to the scene. With console systems banned for 13 years and private computers limited to the wealthy, video games rarely spread beyond dark, internet cafes. Affordable smartphones have changed that. Now, several classics have a chance to reach a whole new market of users missed the first time around. World War II Eagles (⼆二战雄鹰) Monthly Downloads: 184k
 Classic Games Enjoy a Second Spring The scrolling vertical shooter is an instantly recognizable arcade genre. Ranking fourth among new games, this remake proves this classic game design is just as tough and fun playing with a touchscreen as a joystick. 1

  • 5. In the West, web-era social giants like Facebook are trying to regain mobile users by de-bundling their services into different apps. Meanwhile China blossoms with social network apps acutely focused on building communities around niche interests. Social De-bundling: Different Interests, Different Apps2 Nice Monthly Downloads: 48k Nice is a social photo-sharing app that lets users stamp their photos with tags and find new friends with shared interests. Brand aficionados can bond over showing off their collections, while individualists can carve out niches like “Tattoo Addicts,” “Travel is My Antidote,” and “Vintage Bicycling.”
  • 6. Less glamorous, text-heavier social apps rose to the top by tapping into Chinese passions for sports and humor. Onion Ring updates users with the scores for their favorite sports teams and allows them to join groups to discuss league news. Joking Jianghu is an anonymous platform for sharing jokes, many of which have a sharp social edge.

  • 7. Diplomacy Cools, But Japanimation Is Still Hot3 Tensions between China and Japan flare regularly, mostly recently over competing claims to the Diaoyu Islands. Many Chinese boycott products imported from Japan. However, video play counts and video search queries tell a different story: Japanese animation is still in demand. Doraemon Season 5 (哆啦A梦第5季) Monthly Plays: 197k Growth Rate: 597% Fastest Growth Rank: 9

  • 8. Diplomacy Cools, But Japanimation Is Still Hot3 When it comes to animation, many Chinese lament their own country’s meager offerings and acknowledge Japan’s superior craftmanship. While Japanese cars and restaurants are easy to make public example of, appreciating imported video content is lower key. Naruto (⽕火影忍者) Video Search Rank: 7 One Piece (海贼⺩王) Video Search Rank:15

  • 21. Rayman: Jungle Run Ubisoft’s Rayman: Jungle Run, winner of the title of “Best of 2012” in the iTunes App Store, is going to launch its Chinese Android version exclusively with Wandoujia. This campaign will provide the best promotion resources available in the Wandoujia client, a specially-designed landing page, and huge media exposure. Wandoujia looks forward to partnering with more and more high quality games like Rayman to tap into the huge Chinese market! Who’s next?

  • 22. China is the world’s largest smartphone market. But it’s a black hole for app data. Mobile research firms use Google Play data, which works for most of the world, but not for China. Nine out of ten new smartphones sold in China run Android, but developers are left in the dark. ! Here at Wandoujia, we decided to change that. As an Android mobile search engine with 350 million total installs, we decided to shine a light on the market. We hope it will encourage more foreign developers to come to China. Methodology: ! • Top New: Launched within the last 60 days. • Fastest Growing: Highest growth-rate this month, relative to an average of the previous 3 months. • App data is carefully screened to eliminate ‘zombie downloads’ • All data is from the Wandoujia platform, with 350 million+ installs in China. About the Mobile Search Index http://appindex.wandoujia.com
  • 23. The China partner for app developers Wandoujia’s editorial team is always on the lookout for the best new apps. That definitely includes apps from foreign developers! We’ve partnered with Flipboard, EverNote, Pocket, and LINE to do exclusive launches and promotions in China. Complete media management Wandoujia is for more than just apps. Our PC suite makes it super-easy for users to manage all of their content. That includes movies, TV shows, music, and e-books too. The place for mobile gamers Wandoujia is the easiest way to reach a massive audience of gamers in China. For developers, our app promotion system makes it easy to be discovered and our payment SDK makes it easy to get paid.
