    Thanks for the report, I'll check on it. Also another way to restore purchase is to press Remove Ads again, it will tell you that you have already purchased the product and if you'd like to receive it for free.

    A while back you mentioned something about familiars being something you were considering, and I just wanted to say that is an amazing idea. I could totally see a little slime creature of my own tagging along beating crap up or some dragon that flys behind acting as a supplemental flame thrower, firing in short bursts or something.... my two cents.

    Can u make this so I can play with the phone sideways.
    You have to have tiny hands to play it with a normal phone.
    I’m trying to position my hands so I can touch both sides with my thumbs but it’s impossible.

    Any talks of giving the game a mode with levels?

    I had the same thought. The controls are really cramped for me when playing in portrait mode.

    I'm scheduling update releases. First up is more suits, buffs and weapons. Next will be Hard Mode and more level variations. After that will be secret rooms and intermission levels (with new enemies and traps). Then an entire new area with a final boss which needs to be unlocked by getting all intermission levels.

    I'm experimenting on offering landscape. I can support it as we have a Steam version on landscape. I will put it in my schedule to offer this in future update.

    This game is fun. Nitrome has to be one of the best development teams out there. I love their graphics style. I feel like I can spot a Nitrome game from a mile away.

    Nitrome is amazing but I think most of the praise should be given to Keybol. This was his baby before Nitrome was involved however the two together are an excellent combination. :)

    Still waiting for landscape mode update, my big thumbs often touch each other instead of the screen, I will drop my $3.99 when the update out, otherwise the game is addictive :)

    What about adding a "Random Suit" option to the selection? It would be fun to get a random suit every time you restart.

    Im not sure why this game is so highly rated. This is the first game in years that has made me want to haul off and launch my phone across the room because of the controls.

    Like others have mentioned the controls are infuriating. I die quick and I wish I could say its because the game is difficult but I die because my hand slips off buttons or they arent very reactive.

    also, why is it when I am trying to play the pause menu randomly pops up for no reason?

    Maybe try avoiding playin games on your phone without washing your hands after you kill a 12 pack of hot pockets?

    Actually the game runs amazingly on PC, you can see some nice reviews on Steam thread, the only issue on mobile is the control, I think if there are more people have same issue, the Dev will fix it soon.

    Thank you for the feedback. Yes I am considering all reviews and will schedule how to fix them. Currently, we've fixed enough bugs but there are still more. I've also made the 3rd area to scroll with the player for faster gameplay and not be a combo killer. New content is also added. After that, I'll work on landscape mode and other control options. I'm thinking of a similar layout as Downwell, 3 buttons and the fire button will be anywhere on top of the 3 buttons, meaning the full screen in between the pause button and virtual buttons. For landsape, I've experimented on it and check on possible implementation. I made a mockup also.

    I still wouldn't claim full credit here as Nitrome did a lot of improvement on visual design and design decisions. At the end of the day, I am really proud of what we achieved and thankful to everyone who's supported the game.

    @Keybol - that landscape screen looks sick
