1) Would you mind introducing yourself to the readers of QooApp?<\/strong> <\/span>
\nRasheed Abueideh: a Dad, computer engineer and a game designer from Palestine, I love games and I try to create games in my free time since my full time job is not in gaming.<\/p>\n

2) What inspired you to create this game?<\/strong><\/span>
\nWhen the war started in Gaza and i saw the images of the killed kids in their parents hands I was shocked, I had a weird feeling, it\u2019s a combination of sadness, fear, empathy and anger, All what i was thinking of is \u201cwhat if this happened to me”.So i made this game as a self expression about my feeling regarding whats happening in my country.<\/p>\n

3) How did you feel when creating this game?<\/strong><\/span>
\nIt was a hard job to do this game since it represent the pain of many people and a true life we have, every time I had to worked on this game I remember those kids and the strong feeling of losing one of your kids.<\/p>\n

4)What difficulties did you have when the game was released? After the game was released?<\/strong><\/span>
\nWe had an issue with Apple, at the beginning they refused to publish the game as a game, they told me that I have publish it under the news category or reference category but not under the games category, they claim it has a political statement.
\nBut after the support from the game developers community Apple reversed its decision.<\/p>\n

\nI\u2019m looking forward to do more games, but now I don\u2019t have enough resources to do that by my self.<\/p>\n

7) What do you want to tell the players of this game?<\/strong><\/span>
