I’m killing the leaderboard The remove ads IAP does remove the interstitial ads but you still need to watch a video if you want to do the one revive. Would have been nice if that also gave you a free revive, but, as it is, you have to watch one if you want that continue.

I really like the “New Explosive Obstacles”. The rate of coins for me is usually 20 per run or less. A “good” run gets me around 75 or so. On top of buying out the ads, I ended up buying the $4.99 coin IAP to buy the auto-fire upgrade. It was just taking way too long to save up enough for that and the magnet. I see there are only 2 upgrade slots; It would be really nice if you could equip all 4 upgrades available for purchase in the in-game shop. Just left a quick 5-star rating for the newest update. Great job with the touch control sensitivity. It would be hard to get that right for a game like this. And, like I said, I’m loving those new explosive mines as well as the other features in the update. RebelBinary likes this.

Glad you like the explosive mines 20 per run is not great, I agree that's too low if you're playing on a higher level unless you're past level 40 where it can really turn into a slog. A trick to this game is to set your waypoint back to 1 or 10 (it's not permanent) and play at a lower level to grind more money. I was able to get +275 on lvl 1-8 run and I wasn't even wearing glasses. There are no penalties for playing at a lower waypoint and you can always return to the level where you left off in another round. I have been tweaking this game a lot to keep in fun and more challenging for me personally, but I will try to scale the currency up a bit more at higher levels in a future update.

I didn’t realize you could play the earlier levels over. I’ll give that a try for sure. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
