The Ukrainian mobile game Colorwood Words managed to top the ranking in the Ukrainian App Store, even outperforming the popular Roblox. At the same time, the game took only 50 working days to develop, says the game's producer Maria Myronenko.

Another feature of the game from Burny Games is full Ukrainian localization with local memes, a borscht recipe, and a trempel.

The project's producer told LIGA.net how the deadline came about, how Ukrainian localization with native phrases and memes influenced the game's popularity, and what content the developers are preparing next.
