App not available on Play Store #10

I'm not sure what happened but the app isn't available on Play Store. When will it be available back on the PS? Also, any plans to make this app available on F-Droid?

Long story short: My entire Google Play account has been removed, for associating myself with another banned account (they wouldn't elaborate any more than this).

No, the app won't be back on the Play Store any time soon as they will automatically flag and remove that any new account that I make as well.

Yes, I've been thinking about publishing it on FDroid, the only thing hold that back is a donation that is required when you publish an app

Damn, the Google strikes again. Do you have a reddit account ? You could post the latest apk of Lucky Chess on GitHub and then make posts on r/androidapps, r/fossdroid, r/fdroid, r/opensource and any other relevant sub to share your app, once it becomes popular, donations will come in because I think your app is superb for how simple and refined it is. I don't have any crypto, PayPal or anything like that so right now all I can do is encourage you to keep it up.

Also you can post on r/androiddev and share your awful experience and maybe someone there knows how to proceed further when it comes to Play Store.
