Another month and a fresh batch of Hyper Casual games to play! With tons of new releases it was tough to pick only 12, but 12 we must!
Each and every week inside the Academy we host Academy Live, our flagship weekly #gamedev and mobile game design show where we play and deconstruct the latest games in the world of hyper casual.
We deep dive into what makes them successful, and just why these hyper casual games are trailblazing the charts. This up to the minute research ensures we’re creating games that players will love and the Top Publishers will actually want.
It’s the best way to truly understand current hyper-casual game design at a deeper level.

What’s New this month
Published by CrazyLabs and developed by Funny iGames, Dentist Bling went no.1 overall charts in the US.
We saw this trend probably around 5 or so years ago with all these types of dress up / sim games and now the big publishers are pushing them out in force.
This recent wave of “maker” type games are killing it and perhaps it’s not too late to put your twist on the genre.
Whilst we didn’t include Dentist Bling in our list for the month, it’s certainly a well built take on this genre.
We saw Parking Jam 3D by the recently exploding studio Popcore, release a full reboot of “Unblock Me” that was first out on the iPhone back in 2011 and is an excellent example of our “look to the past” technique.
It’s most certainly Slap month which seems to have come out of nowhere, and we have 3 games storming the charts using the Slap theme, all putting their own twist on mechanics.
Perhaps seeing a boost from a bizarre TikTok challenge which has hit the news this week, we obviously put them through their paces and see what all the fuss is about.
So here’s the run down of the 12 hyper casual games we put through their paces this month. These are simply the best hyper-casual games we saw out on iOS in February listed in alphabetical order.
