Hey, it's not possible to pay coins to collect your first monster. I am not sure in which world you are? You can tap on the coin button on the top right to enter the shop to buy coins and remove ads. This game is way less IAP driven or ad driven then our previous games.
It wanted me to give 10 coins to try again because I failed to pick it up the first time. Unless I misunderstood what it wanted the 10 coins for. I got annoyed and closed the app when I saw that.
I completed the game, including collecting every critter, in about 2 and a half hours without buying any currency. It's short but sweet.
I received 12k total, sorry for the confusion, I didn't know if 6k + 6k was a bug and that the 100% extra was included in the original 6k
This should not be possible, but I remember you were in the beta. It could be possible there's save state left. What I'd recommend is to delete the game and re-install from the App Store.
Ah maybe. Thanks! Edit: Is it worth doing so at this point if I already won a few battles and made a couple of combos? Do you think installing over the beta might cause other issues?
If you're still in world 1 or half way world 2 it's worth it. But you'll have to redo the tutorial. Just want to make sure you start with a great experience!
Ah ok. So what happened is the game saved my monsters from the beta. Even though it looked like I was starting from scratch, it skipped the tutorial and my first battle was against three monsters instead of one weaker one. I'll edit my earlier post.
So is this game a huge battery drain like one other person on this thread mentioned? I guess it's a collecting game so you should be playing it a lot but I don't want the game to be destroying most of my battery..
