Hello, it’s time for statistics from my last game “Fisherman” (downloads and earnings), expect it, I will share data from my other games + total earnings + plays (online) + downloads from my 8 games (6 Android + WebGL, 2 only WebGL).
My game (fisherman) has been released for Android (Google Play, Amazon Store) + WebGL (Kongregate, Crazy Games). Fisherman is a clicker/idle game, your purpose is to earn the highest amount of cash + buy new upgrades (more about game here). Game has been downloaded 740x (698x Google Play, 42x Amazon Store). The Highest number of downloads (one day) is 434x. WebGL version (Online), got:
17000 (Kongregate) game plays
6000 (Crazy Games) game plays
Total 23000 game plays.
Kongregate Data, daily new players
Installs image (Android):
Google Play Downloads 
Amazon Store Downloads 
Google Play users country
What about earnings?
Android:
$6,42 Unity Ads (reward video ads, only played when users want).
$2.55 ChartBoost (full screen ads, only visible, when player have enough high earnings + they got CD for 5–8 minutes, expect it if Unity Ads fail to show ad, this one will show reward ad). $2.55 from Google Play, $0 from Amazon Store.
Online (WebGL):
$32.53 Kongregate (played based on game plays + they quality).
€13.97 Crazy Games (based on game plays + they quality).
In total, it gives me:
~$57.41 (- taxes and -graphics costs and other cost, expect it there is fee for withdrawing cash + PayPal got weak exchange rate).
My game (this one and others), don’t got IAP. I expected these earnings, to be honest I never expected something (you know big cash, popularity, MMO RPG with millions of players), that’s why I’ve never been disappointed.
It could be worse, game earnings
Check out my game:
And my social media:
(^ You won’t miss info about my new games + about new stats from future games)
OK, time for most interesting statistics:
Most amount of rates (Android) comes from Xiaomi Redmi Note 4. In terms of downloads, most popular phones are Redmi 4x and Redmi Note 4, expect it there is a lot of other Xiaomi Devices + a lot of Samsung smartphones. Total daily play time ( the best day) is 8.68M seconds (~100days), total daily play time per user (the best day) is 3.13k seconds. Expect it, in the best day, I had notice 38.53 shop button clicks (only one shop) and 11k transports (started).
Best Day = day with highest rate of installs
Android Rate (Google Play)
Oh, I had thought, that I will get a lot of 1 star rates (I got 2x crash bug):
1. I had updated Google Services, because older was working very bad, I got no errors, on my phone (Android 6), all was working fine, then after releasing game to Google Play, I got crashes on users with Android 6+.
2. I just released a very small upgrade, then my game crashes for users (Unity corrupted packaged game files, only Android).
Those crash didn’t affect rates, because I got very good users, they had reported me those bugs so fast + I fixed them in less than 24 hours (ussaly day of bug report = day of bug fix)
Time for some images:
New Users, Data from Unity Analitycs 
Monthly active users (Data from Unity Analitycs)

Game got downloaded 152x (111x Google Play + 41x Amazon Store). Expect it, it got 7k game plays (online. Earnings:
$0 Chartboost, $0 Unity ads, $8.73 Web Version (WebGL).
Ok, time for next bonus stats, after releasing zarsthor (my 5th game), I decided to release 2 small WebGL games (games for 2 players):
Throw, it was a simple game, to be honest IDK about what is it (I think we are throwing something), it has earned $10,4 (more than Zarsthor, let’s say Zarsthor was xxx time when throw was x time). It got also 12,162 game plays,
Fish Eat Fishes, my next simple game, this time it earned $47.77 earnings. Game got 29,577 game plays.

Future Plans:
When you are reading it, I’m answering tons of PM (thanks for each of them). Also, I’m leaving gamedev, to be honest it’s so hard work, and I got nothing from it. Joking, I plan to release some updates to my last game + I’m working on small web game (15% done), then I gotta move to my main project. It will be tycoon, special one, with unique theme, no one even released Tycoon with this theme. I don’t want to give details right now, I’m still planing it.
Thanks for support, thanks for each Pm, thanks for helping me with beta/alpha tests, also thanks for playing my games :-}
When I was making those games, I had learned a lot, and it’s still start for me. I mean, my first game was some random thing, just idk what I was making, I just was making something, no plans, idea. No marketing (only marketing was in day of release). “Releasing Games” is just a start of work, updating game, responding to players, marketing game is a next ton of work.
Got any questions? Feel free to ask them :-}

I had complete gathering those data at 5AM, total earnings and earnings from games may be other (just not all data is fetched + some old data is not visible).
** I’m not expert, I’m still newbie in gamedev (just a 20 old guy, who one day started making games). Threat this post as a share of curiosity, it’s not a professional data collection.
