Hey, so this one probably isn't too exciting. The Android version now has ads. With the way mobile games are today, I know I can't count on folks to buy a game when there's so many free ones, so it seems I'll have to play the ad-rev game.
Right now, if you've purchased it on itch, I've put an ad-free patch on it so that you shouldn't see ads even though you see the option to remove them there. I'm going to have to figure out a long-term solution for this, but in the interim it is most important that if you already bought the game then you shouldn't see ads.
The desktop versions should be unaffected from the player side, though to properly implement these Android platform features I did refactor quite a bit on the backend.
I'm looking at some mobile optimization this week as I review performance numbers that the Play Store dev console provides. Apparently the FPS is lower than I thought on some devices. Have a great week and thanks for playing!
