Pixel Gun 3D is still here at twelve years old, and the cracks are showing.

Township on Android is the install Playrix's ad spend keeps buying.
A twelve-year-old farm-meets-city sim that lives near the top of Google Play's casual chart because Playrix outspends nearly everyone — and because the mini-game ads it ran for years sold a different game than the one users opened.

Geometry Dash Lite is the cleanest free demo on the Play Store.
