Aladdin X Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Aladdin We would like to inform you that we won the “Movement Award” at the annual work division presentation award ceremony. “Japan Game Awards 2024″ is a prestigious award given by the Computer Entertainment Association of Japan to select and recognize excellent computer entertainment software for home game consoles, personal computers, etc. that is suitable to represent the year. The “Movement Award” is a newly established award that is given to works that reach out to a wide range of people, including users who don’t usually play games, and that have left memorable results that year. Recommended works were selected by each selection committee from among works released in Japan regardless of the year, and the selection was made after discussion by the Japan Game Awards selection committee. I am grateful to have received this prestigious award for my work that left a memorable result. We will continue to work hard to create games that our users can enjoy. ■Comment from Watermelon Game Team Representative We would like to express our gratitude for selecting Watermelon Game as the memorable first work of the newly established “Movement Award” in the prestigious Japan Game Awards. The watermelon game trend started in September 2023, so it has been exactly one year since the trend started. The cumulative number of downloads during this period was approximately 11 million, a huge number that was unimaginable when it was first released. Just looking at these numbers alone makes me feel deeply moved that so many people have played the game, but when I actually talk to the users, I feel that I can touch upon each individual’s “Watermelon Game Story”. You can. “My family, who had been having a little less conversation lately, has started having more conversations through games.” “My child, who hates studying, has become interested in programming.” We often hear happy comments like, “I was able to enjoy a game for the first time.” Every time I hear such feedback, I feel that keywords such as “opportunity” and “connection” are the essential part of the value we are able to deliver to our users. We believe that the “moves” of each story surrounding you have spread and resonated with those around you, and have been widely accepted by everyone as a movement. Thanks to all the users who play Watermelon Game, this game has come such a long way before I knew it, but I hope I can contribute even just a little bit to helping someone’s life and feelings become more future-oriented. , I have never been so happy. Thank you very much for receiving this prestigious award. ■Game introduction Watermelon games are simple and casual puzzle games that hit the same fruit and make “shinka” and aim for high score while making watermelon. Watermelon Game was originally developed and included as original content for Aladdin X brand projectors, and was released in April 2021. In December of the same year, the Nintendo Switch version of the Watermelon game was released, and it became a hot topic in the fall of 2023, and the cumulative number of downloads quickly exceeded 10 million (*1), and currently has reached approximately 11 million (*2). I’m doing it. It has gained popularity among users of a wide range of age groups due to its ease of play anywhere, simple rules, and cute characters, and has received a lot of attention, including being ranked No. 1 in the Nintendo Switch 2023 Annual & 2024 First Half Download Ranking. I am collecting. In addition, there is a “two-player mode (*3)” where you can play against your family and friends right next to you, or with people around the world with various rules, and a customization skin function (*3) that allows you to decorate the in-game design to your liking. *4) The watermelon game itself is also “developing” on a daily basis. *1: Cumulative total for all devices *2: As of September 2024 *3, 4: As of September 2024, the two-player mode and
customization skin function are only supported on the Nintendo Switch version. *Watermelon Game is a registered trademark of Aladdin X Co., Ltd. Registration 6770268 *Nintendo Switch is a trademark of Nintendo ・”Watermelon Game” official website:
