2.2.0
Jul 2, 2021
Over the past couple of months I've been fiddling with the mobile ads and have finally decided to remove them; I wanted for you to be able to use rewarded ads to get a little help here and there but ultimately, they didn't do that job properly.
That's why I've decided to remove all ads from the game and replace them with a consumable ingame currency that you can buy. As premium user, you can disable this just like you could disable the ads, but if you like these little bonuses here and there, you can now use them consistently.
Changed
- Reworked the mastery selection when starting a new game: now has previous and next buttons to work around the buggy iOS select dialog
Fixed
- You can now scroll to reach the highscore graphic's download button on small screens
