This month Wandoujia brings you the newly expanded "Mobile Search Index," incorporating video trends. Comedies are king, and a popular TV show means popularity for spinoff games (or just similar-sounding games...)!

Mobile’s the Right Situation for Comedies
Literally “Love Apartment,”
this show has been likened to
a Chinese version of Friends.
Its fourth season recently
debuted, catapulting it to the
upper ranks of the played
videos among other rom-
coms, which have proved a
popular diversion for Chinese
mobile users.

4. Other fast-growing romantic comedies include the online original Diary of a Loser
and My Love from the Stars, a Korean import widely popular across Asia.

featuring the show’s main characters battling in various scenes
from popular culture such as Transformers and Star Wars.
6. Both the Chinese animated show The Legend of Qin and its official game saw triple-digit
growth rates, and two games of the popular gem-popping genre benefited from containing
“Star” in their name, calling to mind the popular Korean show My Love from the Stars.

7. The Kids Come First3
The top new game for this month is actually a game for children. Part of the Chicken Jojo line of
games, Super Doctor is an example of Wandoujia’s unique “Children’s Puzzles” category. As a
country that dotes on its only children and frets about their education, China is a ripe market for
developers looking to serve the right content to the youngest players.

18. 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
19. 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 300 million users, 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 300 million+ Android users in China.
