Wildscapes (Playrix)
Revenue Analysis
This app soft launched 4/19/19 and currently live in 3 testing countries.
App Teardown
Wildscapes is a match-builder that combines elements of Family Zoo the Story and Toon Blast. In the app, players progress animals for a reward. Tasks are more integrated into the game, appearing during progression, instead of on a Task List.
There are two features with chest mechanics influenced by Toon Blast: Zoo Chest in Wildscapes (Toon Chest in Toon Blast) and Start Chest in Wildscapes (Star Chest in Toon Blast).
The custom design choices are similar to Fishdom. In Wildscapes, players use a theme menu to choose between purchasable and standard custom designs (see Custom Design in the Library tool).
