Food Truck Chef is feasting on 16 million downloads on its first anniversary. The game is a big hit for Indian developer Nukebox Studios.

Food Truck Chef became the No.1 Android casual game in 40 countries, including the U.S., and it made it to the Top 100 Grossing Charts in more than 100 countries on the App Store and Google Play. It was also chosen as “Best of 2017” and “Awesome Game Made In India” by the Google Play store. That’s no small task in the $70 billion mobile games market, as competition for casual games is fierce.
