Facebook might be a social networking site, but it has
also become a huge platform for gaming developers and addicts alike since its
inception a decade ago. There are few dedicated
Facebook users
who have never played a single game on this site - for the others, here are the
best-performing
games this year.
1. Candy Crush Saga
The social games company, King, has the lion's share among the game
developers on Facebook. Its most popular game, Candy
Crush Saga, peaked as the #1 game on Facebook in January 2013 - and has held
that position since then. It now has over 148 million monthly users.
2. Farm Heroes Saga
Yet another match-3 puzzle game developed by King is Farm Heroes Saga which
has over 40 million monthly users. Using the match-3 formula popularized in
Candy
Crush Saga, this game has its own twist on the special combinations and
boosts with the objective being to stop Rancid the Raccoon from spoiling the
farmlands.
3. Pet Rescue Saga
The third straight 'Saga' is Pet Rescue Saga by King - boasting of over 36
million monthly users. The objective of the game is to clear similar-colored
blocks and rescue the pets stuck amidst them.
4. Farmville 2
Another popular game developer on Facebook is Zynga, who burst into the
scene of social games with its most popular offering, Farmville, in 2009. The
game reached 10 million daily active users in six weeks! The developer unveiled
the sequel in 2012, differing from the original Farmville in a number of
aspects - and it now boasts of over 28 million monthly users.
5. Dragon City
The Spanish game developers Social Point make a mark on this
list with its game Dragon City cinching the fifth spot. A fantasy simulation
game where the objective is to breed and raise dragons which are then used to
battle other players' dragons, Dragon City has gets over 26 million users on a
monthly basis and is probably the first macho game on this list, so to speak.
