Cause of death: the autopsy

Google Play blocks updates without 16 KB page support from 2027-02-01, and there were 1,921 GitHub issues with '16kb' in the title since 2025-10-01. But those are open-source maintainers fixing it upstream for free; engines and libraries ship rebuilt files and Play Console flags it at no cost.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
