    Josh,

    No need. Just put a simple toggle in options to enable or disable the opt in ads. While I purchased no ads I don't always mind opt in ads in in games that I like if the rewards are good. If you simply have the devs put a toggle it would solve the issue and make everyone happy.

    Also purchasing no ads should give us 1 continue ad free. That's how it's being done in their games.

    I would also like to request a permanent crystal doubler IAP. I would purchase it. This is a good game. You guys have really been publishing some great stuff! You are attracting great devs!

    I really like how the game screen twists around as you play. It really makes it interesting. It gets pretty intense.

    Also can you please ask the developer to put in a button to restart a game on the same screen as the continue? I shouldn't have to hit the back button and then start. I won't watch an opt in ad to continue when I paid for no ads. So I'd like a quicker way to simply restart.

    Billy

    Permanent upgrades you could buy with crystals would be cool. You could further upgrade those as well. A control method where you slide back and forth to move (to make it more approachable as a 'one handed' game). That may be difficult to implement though.

    I haven't seen one pop-up ad & I didn't buy the no ads IAP. Also, sometimes a triangle will appear a few times that you apparently have to tap or you'll die. Is that supposed to be in there? Lol

    Forgot one thing; a 'tweet your high score' button since Game Center sucks. :D Only for runs that don't use a continue though ;)

    Actually something weird JUST happened. I was playing and I tapped the back button to restart and I got an ad.

    It happened earlier but I thought maybe I hit the triangle by accident. I absolutely didn't hit it. So there's definitely something weird going on.

    I guess the problem with the continue with ad thing the game has right now is not so much about the ad, but it's just that the button is in your face so much that it breaks my momentum when I just want to quickly restart. I don't mind having no continues at all. Maybe a similarly sized restart button alongside the continue button in the death screen?

    Or, Another way of continuing the game for people who paid the ads-free version could be using coins earned.

    Got the same problem, although I'm not 100% sure I didn't tap it myself.

    these were the things that were just submitted in the update, so that may help a bit:

    * Fixed an issue which may cause a crash after video ad viewing.
    * Fixed a bug in restoring bonus data.
    * Fixed Teleport purchase glitch.
    * Teleport price lowered to 500.
    * 5 continues are now given per run.
    * No continue video ads for the Full version.

    Excellent! These are great changes! Please pass a thank you to the development team. I'll wait for the update to see if the wonky ad thing goes away.

    I just predicted the future.

    Exactly what I said would happen, happened. It's nonsense. I played all this time. I got 5k crystals. I pressed that next key to unlock a new spark and my very first unlock is effing pink. Pink.

    Haha! I have the first row and one on the next page. I can tell you what they are if you want. :) But I really like the 6th one (last one on 1st page) ;)

    Holy shit, this game is obnoxious. There are ads every step of the way to the point where I can't even give the game a proper try to decide if it's worth my time or money or not. Deleted.

    That sucks. I, on the other hand, just played for about thirty minutes and I think I saw one ad. Pretty sure it was voluntary too. And I haven't purchased remove ads.

    There was a glitch with the ads but we submitted a fix for it - should be better as soon as it's approved

    It is!

    Way way way way better. Also I haven't gotten anymore ads since the update. So that quirky issue seems resolved.

    Giving the ad less continues was a great move. Thank you!

    Did you purchase the No Ads? Or are you just not getting them?
