The most downloaded games in March

- also, the previously headed Eggy Party from the Chinese NetEase disappeared from the iOS top;
- Brawl Stars returned to high positions, the project entered the Top 2 downloads in the world on iOS.
There are also many projects in the top, either released in March, or previously not so high on the chart. Let's look at each of them in more detail.
Ojol The Game
Publisher: Indonesian CodeXplore

The highest-grossing games in March
A significant change in the grossing tops is the disappearance of Genshin Impact. Most likely, the title will not be available until exactly the next major event or update. So far, it is only obvious that a monthly salary of $ 40 million is not enough to consolidate in the box office charts.
But another game, miHoYo, has strengthened its dominance in the top grossing. In March, Honkai: Star Rail entered the top 3 highest-grossing games on iOS and the top 5 highest-grossing mobile games overall. Its box office last month amounted to almost $ 77 million.
Also in March, a novelty appeared in the box office charts.
Legend of Mushroom
Publisher: Chinese Joy Net Games

About the game: idle is a battler in a cartoon style, some experts call it a clone of Legend of Slime.
