Why cloning popular game will always work ?

I have been developing different games from past 3 years and released over 10 - 15 new concepts games but none gave 1000 downloads in a day. Yesterday I released a game with smooth graphics and cloned the concept of popular game Subway Surfers and added uniqueness with skating stunts. It did the trick, game received awesome response with 1200 downloads in just 15 hours of the launch.

This is my game Skate Cruiser

I have taken care that game play is smooth and the users are not loaded with ads. I have almost 80% users retained and the engagement is the best I saw till date.

I have received a great response for the quality of the video that I have made. My friend has put special effort to make this video awesome and he did not ask even a rupee from me.

Search "Skate Cruiser" in Google Play, you will find it in first page.

This is the best and the most amazing day of my life. Such a big response in such a short time. Looks like I will cross 2k downloads in a single day.

Hope game crosses 100k download in a weeks time.

So, Cloning popular game is Good or Not ?
