Halfbrick is promoting its new educational game for kids Fruit Ninja: Math Master with the help of the recently launched “family” section of Google Play. They told the resource about their experience Pocketgamer.biz .
Fruit Ninja: Math Master is a paid game, its cost is almost $5. There is no iAP or in-game advertising in the title. The game does not require an internet connection. All this is done for security reasons.
The creators of the game admit that their chosen business model is “quite risky.” However, with the help of Google’s initiative, they note, the visibility of the project has reached an acceptable level. The Halfbrick team hopes that its example will encourage other game developers to participate in the initiative.

Recall that Google Play invited developers to participate in the Designed for Families program a few weeks ago. The program is designed for projects that have no age restrictions or they are minimal. The goal of the initiative is to make it easier for parents to find games and apps suitable for children. Projects that meet the requirements of the program fall into the “For the whole family” section. It is available from the main page both in the mobile version of the Play Store and in the browser.
