Two years ago I published one of the ugliest games that Play Store has EVER seen. Somehow, don’t know how, it got to number 7 most downloaded apps on Play Store in that period.

In a previous article written in Romanian, I wrote about how much I hate it when people can’t admit their mistakes or be responsible for what they did. It’s very common for developers to say: this previous guy did a lousy job, i can do it better! Heck even I said it a few times. […]
