TORONTO, Aug. 9, 2022
/CNW/ - PopReach Corporation ("PopReach" or the
"Company") (TSXV: POPR) (OTCQX: POPRF) is pleased to
announce that Smurfs Magic Match, the newest mobile game
revitalized by its PopReach Games business unit, has surpassed 1
million cumulative downloads on the Apple App Store and Google Play
stores.
"We're very happy with the performance Smurfs Magic Match
at this early stage of its life cycle. It's been well received on
both major mobile platforms, having already been featured in both
the Google Play and Apple App Store over the past several months,
validating the game's high quality along with the brands ongoing
appeal," said Jon Walsh, CEO of
PopReach. "Most importantly, our players are really enjoying the
game, as evidenced by its 4.7/5 star average with tens of thousands
of reviews."
In 2019 PopReach acquired a portfolio of games based on the
Smurfs IP, licensed from Lafig Belgium S.A., including Smurfs'
Village and a match 3 game. Smurfs Magic Match is the
revitalized title based on this match 3 game, rebuilt in the Unity
game engine, and ultimately soft launched in late 2021.
"Our games team has done a great job breathing new life into the
Smurfs match 3 game, re-envisioned for the modern player, and the
results to date have been exceptional," added Christopher Locke, President of PopReach. "The
game has an exciting future, and is a validation of PopReach Games'
strategy of acquiring successful products built around strong
brands, and revitalizing them for future growth."
