Mobile game maker Animoca Brands has made it to the top of the iPad games app download charts in a number of Asian countries — including China, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Brunei and Macau — with its latest game, Doraemon Gadget Rush.

The move up the charts comes less than a month after the company listed on the Australian stock exchange.

The Hong-Kong-based company, which raised $2.4 million when it completed a backdoor listing through a reverse takeover of former resources company Black Fire Minerals on January 23, says the game has been downloaded more than 1.8 million times since its launch on February 5.
