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
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
