[casual_games] Casual Game with cute character

[Deepak Abbot]

Characters are a way to go if executed well.
Disney made Mickey Mouse and in turn Micky Mouse made Disney.

One has to make the character live through your content meaning that 1-2 odd
games wouldnt do but a series with storyline attached to it can generate
interest. Use character to build brand.
See how successful was crazy from!!!
