They haven’t previously appeared in a global wealth ranking. Today, each brother is worth about $1.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. That makes the company one of the top 10 iOS and Google Play app developers by revenue, data from researcher AppAnnie show, putting Playrix in the same league as Tencent Holdings Ltd., NetEase Inc. and annual sales of $1.2 billion, according to Newzoo.

He and Igor Bukhman, 37, are the brains behind Playrix Holding Ltd., the creator of popular games similar to Candy Crush, including Fishdom and Gardenscapes, with more than 30 million daily users from China to the U.S. For now, though, “we are focused on growing the business.” Playrix has met with some of the biggest banks “and visited their skyscrapers,” said Dmitry Bukhman, 34, citing meetings with dealmakers at Goldman Sachs Group Inc. Wall Street wants a piece of what they’ve built since. Which is why Homescapes may be the next match-3 puzzle game to eat up your time, but you'll want to play it with the sound off.Almost two decades ago, in a remote Russian city best known for its butter and linen, two brothers shared a bedroom and a Pentium 100-powered computer they used to code their first game.

That part doesn't really make a lot of sense, and it's really odd because this can be pretty noisy. The biggest downside is this one new aspect that's rather annoying: When you finish a puzzle, your on-screen companion will clap his hands at you even if you don't move on to the next part. There are also times when a level will have multiple parts, and you have to complete one to move onto the next, and only by solving all will you get your precious stars. For starters, you don't need to match special icons to activate them - you can tap them twice instead. But while the interior decorating parts of this are limited, and really only motivate you to keep going, the puzzle parts add some fun new mechanics to this familiar puzzle type. You then use these stars to buy new furnishings for your childhood home, or to perform such tasks as sweeping the floor.

In Homescapes, you have to match three or more of the same kind and color items so you can clear the board and earn stars. While adding a home decorating component doesn't really make this more fun, this match-3 puzzle game does have some new mechanics that make it stand out a little.
