Honestly, as somebody who really loved the early era of Android gaming, I'm really disappointed how ephemeral it all was between the Play Store delistings and the absolutely atrocious approach to backwards compatibility in the Android OS.
Seriously, I can't run a 32 bit game on a 64 bit processor? How is that even a problem on newer phones?
They removed the 32-bit libraries from the system so they don't have to be loaded, to save RAM.
