Where the opening is

  • Had 145 description(s) but no strong recurring theme patterns; manual review recommended.

What to do next

  1. Only proceed with a sharp wedge — me-too launches will struggle here.
  2. Review these strong incumbents before pivoting: Dungeon Merge!, LEGO Batman: DC Super Heroes, Logicus: Brain Training Games.
  3. Consider an adjacent keyword or sub-audience with weaker chart presence.
  4. Use Launches (/launches?q=Lantern) to see if new launches still enter this space.
