Top-Grossing Android Games: Paradise Island Takes On Tap Fish

Every week, Gamasutra rounds up the top-grossing Android gaming applications, as current that day in the Android Market. This week's U.S. revenue charts see Tap Fish and Paradise Island leading today's rankings, as Life is Crime and Smurfs' Village also report fast sales. These charts allow end users to see who is making the most money in the Android Market that day. It differs significantly from the Top Paid Games chart, which is ranked by sales, and therefore is dominated by lower-priced titles that sell more copies. Data comes courtesy of Google's public sales information. All titles in the Android Market's "Games" category are considered in chart rankings. This week's top-grossing Android titles are: 1. Tap Fish (Free) 2. Paradise Island (Free) 3. Live Holdem Poker Pro (Free) 4. My Country (Free) 5. Zynga Poker (Free) 6. Life is Crime (Free) 7. Smurfs' Village (Free) 8. Texas Poker (Free) 9. Fashion Story (Free) 10. Contract Killer: Zombies (Free) Gameview's Tap Fish maintains its status as the Android Market's highest-grossing app for the fifth week in a row, while Cooper Media's recently updated sim title Paradise Island overtakes Dragonplay's Live Holdem Poker Pro for second place. Red Robot Labs' multiplayer RPG Life is Crime enters the charts at sixth place this week, as the iOS-ported Smurfs' Village returns to the top ten after an extended absence at seventh.
