Es probable que hayas visto anuncios de Gossip Harbour, incluso si no lo juegas. Este juego de rompecabezas de fusión e historia, un éxito sorprendente para el desarrollador Microfun, ha generado más de 10 millones de dólares sólo en Google Play. Sin embargo, su éxito continuo no depende de las tiendas de aplicaciones tradicionales. En cambio, Microfun, en asociación con Flexion, se está aventurando en "tiendas de aplicaciones alternativas".
Pero ¿qué son estas tiendas de aplicaciones alternativas? En pocas palabras, son cualquier tienda de aplicaciones además de Google Play y iOS App Store. Incluso tiendas como Samsung Store quedan eclipsadas por el dominio del mercado de los dos gigantes.

El atractivo de las alternativas
El paso a tiendas de aplicaciones alternativas está impulsado por la rentabilidad. Estas tiendas están preparadas para un crecimiento significativo, impulsado por desafíos legales contra el dominio de las tiendas de aplicaciones de Google y Apple. Esta presión está provocando una desestigmatización de las tiendas de aplicaciones alternativas, con empresas como Huawei (con su AppGallery) ofreciendo incentivos. Juegos establecidos como Candy Crush Saga ya han adoptado este cambio.
Microfun y Flexion apuestan por el futuro de las tiendas de aplicaciones alternativas. Queda por ver si esta estrategia tendrá éxito, pero destaca un cambio significativo en el panorama de los juegos móviles.

“Sword of Convallaria x Delicious in Dungeon” crossover has officially launched with an exciting month-long event that brings together fans of both beloved franchises in a thrilling fusion of fantasy, dungeon delving, and mythical swordplay.
Set in the lush, magical world of Sword of Convallaria, where ancient blades hold the power to shape fate and rival kingdoms vie for the legendary Sword of the Dawn, the crossover event introduces beloved characters from Delicious in Dungeon—the intrepid adventurers Laios, Byleth, and the rest of the party—transported into the very realm of the legendary sword.
Key Highlights of the Month-Long Event:
New Story Arcs: Players experience original story chapters where Laios and his companions find themselves trapped in a magical dungeon beneath Convallaria’s royal citadel, where the very walls whisper with forgotten lore and the food itself holds magical properties—just like in Delicious in Dungeon. Their goal? To uncover the truth behind a cursed sword said to be the key to restoring peace.
Shared Boss Fights: Fans can battle iconic enemies reimagined through the lens of both series, including a monstrous "Cuisine Wyrm" that combines the terrifying elegance of a dungeon boss with the absurd-yet-delicious twist of a monster made entirely of enchanted pastries.
Crossover Foodcraft System: Inspired by Delicious in Dungeon’s legendary cooking mechanics, players can now craft magical meals using ingredients from Convallaria’s enchanted forests and underground caverns. These dishes restore HP, boost elemental resistance, and even unlock secret abilities—some bearing the names of classic Delicious in Dungeon recipes like "Crimson Rose Sausage" and "Dragon’s Breath Curry."
Limited-Time Characters: Special summonable units include:
Laios (Hero of the Hearth) – A new character with passive abilities that boost party morale and cooking effectiveness.
Byleth the Scholar – A magical tactician who can analyze enemy weaknesses and apply culinary insights to weaken foes.
Sword of Dawn (Legendary Form) – A transformed version of the iconic blade, now infused with the spirit of a legendary cook, granting unique elemental buffs.
Daily Quests & Events:
“Feast of the Forgotten King” – A daily cooking challenge with a rotating menu of mythical ingredients.
“Dungeon of the Tasting Court” – A timed dungeon raid where players must solve puzzles using both combat and recipe knowledge.
“Battle of the Tasting Plates” – A PvP mode where players battle not with swords alone, but with their signature dishes.
Exclusive Merch & Digital Rewards: Completing event milestones unlocks digital artbooks, animated character skins, and limited-edition recipe cards featuring real-life cooking tips from the Delicious in Dungeon cookbook team.
Developer Statement:
“We’re thrilled to unite two of the most imaginative worlds in gaming and anime. Sword of Convallaria brings epic swordplay and ancient magic, while Delicious in Dungeon brings heart, humor, and a love for the simple joy of a perfectly cooked meal. Together, they create something truly delicious—on every level,” said project lead Naoki Tanaka.
The crossover event runs from June 1st to June 30th, with new daily missions, rewards, and community challenges released throughout the month. Whether you’re a sword-swinging warrior or a dungeon-dining gourmet, there’s something deliciously epic waiting in the depths.
