AppAnnie publishes yearly stats based on appstore activity. And if you look at some of that data your mind gets blown away. In 2016, total apps and games installs exceeded 90 billion. In 2017 it grew 20% quarter by quarter so this means it will exceed 110 […]
I was about 9 years old when communism was overthrown in my country. Soon after various shops started popping like mushrooms after a rainy day. One of them was a constant magnet for kids all ages, it was an electronics second hand shop. They’d bring used stuff from abroad to sell […]
As of June 2017 the number of apps in Google Play surpassed 3,000,000. Yes, that’s three million apps. Incredibly though, the more apps there are, the tougher it gets to discover something original. I’m talking about games, as most of them are just recycled ideas.

There’s something fascinating about guns and my first recollection of holding one was (way) back during one of my summer holidays. It’s not what you’d think though, my grandparent was crafty with wood and he sculpted for guns, mainly due to the fact that owning real guns was and still is […]

[dropcap]I[/dropcap] almost failed high-school. It was a spring day in 1995 and after classes were over we went to a pastry shop close by to grab something to eat. Waiting in line (yeah, the strudels were that good) a colleague told us if we’d seen the new arcade machine they’ve installed […]
[dropcap]Orby[/dropcap] is a great name for a game. It’s short, catchy and if you add a short slogan after it you almost get the title of a fairytale: “Orby: The Way Home”. If your English vocabulary is as rusty as mine you won’t recognize the fact that “Orby” is actually a […]
Few thought that pixel art would have any future in the age of 3d graphics and powerful hardware, yet this form of designing games (especially) still has a strong following.
