Gun Bros and Toyshop Adventures attracting strong daily user counts too.
Mobile games publisher Glu Mobile has announced that its two recently-released freemium iPhone games, Gun Bros and Toy Shop Adventures, have both been downloaded more than one million times.
What's more, Gun Bros is currently averaging more than 100,000 daily active users, while Toyshop Adventures has 70,000.
The two games both rely on a mixture of ads and in-app purchases to make money, and are part of a turnaround strategy from CEO Niccolo de Masi to shift Glu into social 'persistent' games.
"We are thrilled with the reception to our first social mobile games," he says.
"We expect to release five or six new social mobile titles every quarter on smartphones and tablets to satisfy mobile gamers' appetite for quality, innovative gameplay and social mobile games."

Glu hasn't said how much those Gun Bros and Toyshop Adventures players are spending.
In its recent Q3 financial results, Glu said it made $590,000 from micro-transactions and in-game advertising in its games. It will be hoping the growing communities for its two new games will boost that figure in Q4.
