🎲How hybrid games combine the simplicity of hypercasual and depth of casual games, with Jon Hook, CEO at BoomHits 💸

The Mobile User Acquisition Show

Our guest today is Jon Hook. Jon is the CEO at BoomHits, a mobile game publisher with many hits in the hypercasual and idle genres.

In today’s episode, Jon tells us about how the hypercasual genre has evolved to the point where it’s approaching saturation in the form that it currently is - and outlines the next stage of its evolution - hybrid casual. Our conversation flows around the new dynamics involved in monetization, game design, unit economics, hiring, publishing, and much more in all things hybrid.

I highly recommend this to anyone interested in moving to hybrid games and also to those that are currently working within the genre.
