TutoTOONS co-founder and CEO Mantas Kavaliauskas says that he didn’t believe they would reach 50 million downloads as fast as they did.

“At the beginning of this year, we had only 5 million game downloads. We didn’t expect that our company results will rise so fast. In March we hit 10M, in June – 20M, and today we crossed 50 million”, he says.

But Kavaliauskas are hungry for even higher numbers next year.

“Next year we plan to at least double it”, he says.
