Key takeaways
- Meowdoku! remains the number-one overall free iPhone game in the United States, ahead of Block Out! and Rotate Rings.

- Casual and sorting puzzles continue to dominate top overall download charts despite rising mobile device hardware capabilities.
Today's US App Store snapshot has Meowdoku! sitting at number one across all free iPhone games, ahead of Block Out!, Rotate Rings, Vita Mahjong and Minion Rush. The cat-themed logic game launched in May but has developed the sort of staying power that publishers dream about and household productivity fears.
Its premise combines Sudoku-like placement rules with cheerful feline presentation, demonstrating once again that mobile's most powerful technological innovation may simply be attaching cats to an established puzzle mechanic. More interestingly, today's overall top ten is heavily dominated by accessible puzzle and casual titles despite the enormous production values now available on phones.
Roblox is present at number eight, but much of the chart belongs to games based around sorting, rings, mahjong, cubes and quick repeatable challenges. That is a useful corrective to hardware announcements promising console-grade ray tracing and triple-digit frame rates. Smartphones can now render enormous open worlds, emulate old consoles and run sophisticated RPGs, yet millions of people remain perfectly happy using all that silicon to move colourful objects into the correct place.
The mobile market contains multitudes, and quite a few of those multitudes apparently enjoy cats.
