How do you envision people finding your apps? Do you think a large number of people are starting up Google Play and searching for the word matryoshka? Or searching for words like nono or amazonia?
I have two apps for kids on Google Play. The original pre-port name of the first one was Tux of Math Command, sometimes shortened to TuxMath. I renamed it Free Math Games for Kids. On a search for "math games" on Play, I come up #11. I do not have statistics, but I have a feeling a larger number of people search for "math games" every day then matryoshka, or nono, or the like. Incidentally, I pushed the math game in May 2012 and it has had 30000 downloads since then. Aside from mentioning this on the Tuxmath list, and some outside promotion in Spanish which caused maybe several hundred downloads, these downloads happened without promotion.
Nono's Adventures in Amazonia is 29MB. It certainly might be best and necessary to have have it this size. Just be aware that a useful 800KB app is more likely to be downloaded than one which is more than two dozen megs. Not everyone has an LTE phone, especially in the third world. I am not saying it is too big, I am just saying be aware of how size affects downloads. Play lists the app size for a reason.
