Fast growing mobile social publisher Funzio pulled off one million iOS downloads in five days when it launched its first freemium game Crime City.
Things are speeding up, however, with its second Modern War notching up 1.5 million on iOS in its first week.
To-date, that's resulted in 13 million battles and 70 years of total play time.
Bang, bang
The game is a realistic military social action game, with cooperative and battle multiplayer modes.
"It really validates our vision to see the iOS market respond so strongly to Modern War," said Ken Chiu, Funzio's CEO.
"We have now proven twice that a universal design building on people's natural team-building and competitive impulses can deliver the fun that broad audiences are looking for."
Set up by Chiu, who previously worked at Zynga and Storm8, Funzio raised $20 million, from IDG Capital Partners in China and IDG Ventures in the US in May.
It also recently appointed Jamil Moledina as the its VP of business development, from EA Partners
