Slav Armada is a joyride worth recommending to all. Many may wonder – What is Slav? and Why do Slavs squat?

It rewards you with vodka bottles, aiding in growing your Slav army to conquer the motherland.

While Snapchat and Instagram popularized face filters, the Ugly Camera Android app offers a similar experience.

Additionally, you have the option to play as various other characters.
