Place 4: Gardenscapes – News Acres
What kind of game is this? Gardenscapes is a kind of Candy Crush Saga. However, you have to help an old man clean up his garden. Along the way, small mini-games appear that work like Candy Crush Saga. You need to combine fruits to form a row and then dissolve them.
In addition, there are small puzzles that tell stories. Here you have to use items correctly or move sliders to trigger a chain reaction.
In Gardenscapes, there are thousands of levels, and you mainly have to play the mini-game that resembles Candy Crush Saga. The levels get increasingly difficult and take longer to complete.
How much money was earned? No figures are yet known for 2020. Sensor Tower reports, however, that Gardenscapes has already generated over 1.9 billion dollars in revenue worldwide since its release in July 2016 (as of May 2020).
How does Gardenscapes generate its revenue? Here Gardenscapes is similar to Candy Crush Saga. The game is free in the app store, but you can buy items using premium currency to gain small advantages in the mini-games. You can also buy additional moves.
What about Pay2Win? Those who invest a lot of money can basically breeze through any level. You can just buy as many moves or premium currency as necessary to complete a level. Therefore, those who invest money have a clear advantage.
Some players suspect that levels were intentionally made so difficult later on that they can only be completed by buying items.
