The Tel Aviv-based company has made a name for itself in the hypercasual games market, in May its newly released\u00a0ASMR Slicing was the most downloaded title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;In December, we launched Soap Cutting with the talented group in Mumbai,&#8221; said CrazyLabs CEO Sagi Schliesser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;It was a really great launch that put us on the top of the charts. We connected with them, and they wanted to grow a significant base in hypercasual in India.

Our partner can help with the training, and we can help with the budget. I believe we can find teams with a great entrepreneurial spirit.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CrazyLabs\u00a0has made a big business out of hypercasual games, and now it\u2019s investing $500,000 in\u00a0CrazyHub, a new accelerator for hypercasual games in India.
