Tencent leads $46M funding for Turkish developer Flow Games, maker of Smash Fest

Turkish mobile games developer Flow Games has secured a $46 million funding package, with about three-quarters coming from Tencent, according to a source cited by PocketGamer.biz. The Istanbul-based studio makes Smash Fest, a physics-based mobile shooter. It reached 10.2 million downloads in July, up 343% from more than two million in June, according to AppMagic estimates. Estimated player spending rose from $692,000 in June to $3.4 million in July. Lifetime player spending is almost $8.9 million, though advertising reportedly accounts for most of the game's revenue. The deal is one of Tencent's largest investments in a Turkish studio, excluding full acquisitions. Tencent previously led a $25 million Series A round for Istanbul-based Circle Games.
