Boring with cafeworld??? sometime have many problem. Dishes you cooked not count or must reload the game ....Zynga have many way to fix it. They sent me email to feedback the game. Good job ...I think.
FarmVille broke all sorts of records as the fastest-growing and largest application on Facebook. But now another
Zynga production,
Café World, is looking set to best it. The app has grown from 0 to 8.6 million users since it launched a week ago, according to
AppData, based on a combination of cross-promotion from other Zynga games (including FarmVille) and advertising on Facebook.
This is especially good for Zynga, as we believe the company could try
to go public as soon as next March. Café World has a baked-in revenue model in the form of virtual goods. It’s another big hit using the so-called “Zynga Playbook” for making apps grow, meaning the company can further justify its 2009 financials to public investors. We’ve heard the company is already on track to make $200 million this year.
Café World is not a clone of
Playfish‘s
Restaurant City, but there are many similarities — like the fact that both are virtual restaurant games, where users create restaurants, cook and sell virtual food, etc…. Specific similarities include: The layout of the restaurants, the view of the street on the side, the design and animation of characters — especially walking and eating. See our review of the two games for more on that.
Café World has done some features in a more interesting way, like restaurant expansion.
What Zynga is showing is that it is willing to copy, then innovate on high-quality games perfected by others, and use its market size, cash, and optimization techniques to do that. Its cross-promotion efforts include strategically placed buttons for Café World in other games, including hits like FarmVille, Mafia Wars, YoVille and more. In terms of money, we’ve heard from multiple sources that Zynga is spending $50 million on Facebook ads this year. Meanwhile, Zynga isn’t just coming out with quality new games. It keeps pumping out new versions of existing games, like its recent expansions of Mafia Wars.
