I like the idea, but taking UX ideas from Android or iOS app stores leads only to frustration. For now there are only a couple of screens worth of apps, so it's not a problem.
Search is quite useless. It seems to only display list of matching names. So I can't even search for "game". It does not filter.
I think the UX is supposed to encourage experimentation, but I always find it daunting whenever I try to find an app for something. There is this bunch of huge icons, not enteirly clear names or just straight up deceiving ones and a rating. To get to even a slight neutral description what the thing is one has to tap in, many times also dive deep in description just to have an idea what the thing is trying to be. I guess with web platform it may be easier than normal apps, also I feel I must trust an app much more to install it, but this gives me the same vibes. A channel of spewed icons and mostly unhelpful names.
Sorry if it sounds harsh, I just can't stand how useless Play Store is at finding things.
