The Penalti of Ramos reaches the trending and top free new apps lists

Wow I've created a monster!
The Penalty of Ramos or El Penalti de Ramos, which I admit is my worst game ever is now at now number 16 in the Most Popular Android Apps List:

and number 45 in the top new free Android applications list:

However, even though ratings are either 5 star for the joke or 1 star because it's a bad game, I am pleased that a non-American-targeted and non-English game is doing so well, and hell this is my first time on any of the front pages of the Google Play store for Android.  So I will enjoy the success, even if the reputation of my game-making skills does take a hit.


From a suggestion in a comment, I have nearly finished a similar game for Lionel Messi and his penalty against Chelsea in the Champions League where he hit the cross bar.  It's called The Penalty of Messi: The Legend of the crossbar.   It's a tiny bit different to The Penalty of Ramos and I will write a blog post here, when it's accepted into Google's Play store.

Ads: Targeting other countries works!

I recently released a joke football game called El Penalti de Ramos (or The Penalty of Ramos) which is available here.  To be honest it's a very bad game, and I released it more as a joke about Sergio Ramos's Champions League Semi-final penalty miss against Bayern Munich where he kicked the ball high over the cross-bar.

In Spain the media were full of jokes about how Ramos missed the penalty, but in other countries this wasn't the case.  So, this app is targeted at Spain.

As usual I put ads from Leadbolt in the game and released it for free.  Now, I was disappointed by amount of downloads and lack of money from advertising in the first few days. But I don't know whether it was because of my Spanish blog post or something else, but for three days the amount of downloads has been between 200 and 700 a day, and I'm very pleased with the amount I have made so far from Leadbolt from this game.

It has meant that for 7 days, the main source of income from Leadbolt ads has been from Spain (before this it has been 80% from the USA).  While, I hope the this continues, this does prove that it is possible to have country specific apps that make money.

I can't recommend Leadbolt enough for your Android apps.  If you do sign up, please support me by signing up using this referral link:

El Penalti de Ramos / The Penalty of Ramos Android App

Following Real Madrid's Sergios Ramos penalty miss against Bayern Munich in the Champions League Semi-final, there were many jokes comparing Ramos's Penalties to Rugby kicks, So I have made a joke game app, where the purpose of the game is to hit the ball over the goal and hit the birds and astronauts.  This isn't a serious game, it's just a bit of fun joking about Ramos.

Después de Sergio Ramos penalti contra el Bayern Munich en la Champions League, habia muchas bromas comparando el penalti de Ramos a las patadas de rugby, así que he hecho un juego de broma, donde el objetivo del juego es disparar la bola mas alto de la porteria y golpear a las aves y los astronautas.  Esto no es un juego serio, es sólo un poco de diversión bromeando sobre Ramos.
