Among sports, various versions of ICC Cricket lead the download charts.

Speaking on the strategy behind the Jump’s success of creating ‘one million and more download’ club on Nokia store, Mr. Chaitanya Prabhu, Business Head India, Jump Games said, “Like other forms of entertainment, games also need to connect with their TG to be successful. For mobile gaming to be popular in India, the story and concepts of the game need to adhere to Indian sensibilities. The high download numbers for our games on the Nokia Store validates our belief. I am pleased that our games are performing well and we shall continue to develop several more mobile games with localized Indian themes.”
