Crazy Water World
Eworld's flooded world survival game: start on a raft, scavenge, build, join an alliance
First principle
Going from nothing to a thriving home is progress at its most gripping. Crazy Water World starts you on a raft scavenging junk from the sea, drawn bright and comic, playable inside WeChat and Douyin.
The needs it meets
- ProgressCore
- Seeing yourself get better: a level cleared, a rank gained, a skill learnt.
- Entertainment
- Passing time and unwinding, carried off by stories, music and video.
Why it wins
- The start is as low as it gets, a raft and floating junk; you scavenge, build and expand, and the base visibly grows with each step.
- An end of the world setting drawn in bright comic style with funny characters takes the gloom out of survival and invites more people in.
- It grew first as a WeChat and Douyin mini game with nothing to install, then added a celebrity spokesman, a 50 episode AI short drama and live streams on Kuaishou.
- Behind the building sits a strategy game of heroes, stage battles and alliance wars; players say the alliances that pay most beat the rest, which is what drives spending.
What keeps it ahead
- Paid growth
- Heavy ad spending to buy users, paid back by those who pay.
- Playing together
- Alliances, teams and leaderboards: with or against others.
- Live operations
- Events, seasons and new levels without end.
How it makes money
In app purchases
Free to download; the money comes from packs priced from 6 to 648 yuan, VIP level packs and paid auto production, and the App Store page lists loot boxes.
What a small team can take from it
The start from nothing, played with no install, is worth borrowing, and a browser game opens with one tap too. The strategy game economy behind it and the celebrity, drama and live stream marketing belong to a big publisher.
