Mobile-games studio Good Job Games has raised a $60 million Series A round, the largest of its kind for a Turkish gaming company. The financing was co-led by Menlo Ventures and Anthos Capital, with participation from Bessemer Venture Partners, and lifts total funding to $83 million following a $23 million seed round six months ago. Founded by chief executive Ilker Ilicali, Istanbul-based Good Job Games is best known for “Match Villains,” a Match-3 puzzle title that has surpassed 350,000 daily active users. Investors said the game now posts the highest 30-day retention rate in its genre on Apple’s App Store, a metric that typically declines as user bases grow. The company plans to use the new capital to expand its development team and broaden its portfolio of socially driven, endlessly replayable Match-3 titles. The deal highlights continued investor appetite for casual mobile gaming, the industry’s largest segment by revenue and downloads.
