I thought that maybe they had a free and paid version and they accidentally switched apk butvlast update was 8 months ago and all of their apps are “paid” but have the “100% off” promotion on rotation
So their business plan is to use the “wow, this is free for a limited time, better get it now” feeling to artificially drive downloads. Because otherwise people wouldn’t get it even for free.
Indeed, I was excited to get this, as a very first glance it seemed well done. I was searching for a quality (=manually created puzzles) game similar to this. Then, immediate disappointment as I saw the banner ad on top and all the ai slop on the self promotion button that’s so prominent.
I noticed that all their artwork in all their apps is also ai-generated, which is a testament of the hard work they did.
Why mobile gaming has become like this, everything is literal trash 😢
It can be hard to find the gems in the sea of rubbish, but that’s sadly the cost of making development accessible to everyone and having billions of potential paying users
I tried it. It has ads. Ads on a (supposedly) paid game???
And it’s extremely buggy
Ah that’s a shame, I didn’t give it network permissions so I didn’t see any ads, but it’s always a bit of an unlucky dip with mobile games
