I bought this game and now it's been updated with ads. Please either take the ads off for people who previously purchased the game, or at least let us buy out of the ads. The second option really isn't really fair since I've already paid for the game, but times are changing and I'm sure updating the game wasn't cheap. So I'm willing to help out. But I hate the ads that are constantly at the bottom of the screen. Please let me buy out of the ads for a reasonable price. I do love this game, but I do hate ads.
July 30, 2017: I've had this game since it was introduced for the iPhone and I paid for it. I wanted to support the developer as he was an independent. I updated my reviews for years with each update from the developer. I love the game and the game play, but... What I find interesting is when I updated my review a week ago, it was removed from the App Store. I'm guessing it's because I included the fact that the developer added ads to the game and I gave it a negative review. I guess if you're a developer and you don't like negative reviews you can complain to Apple and have them removed. Funny, because my review was 80% positive, but I dinged the game on the new ads and the fact that you now cannot turn off the sound, EVEN IF YOU SILENCE THE SOUND ON YOUR PHONE! Pass on this game. You can't remove ads and you can't silence it. Good game play isn't worth that.
Amazing mobile puzzle! Fun and challenging at the exact amount. Just discovered it today, as it goes free. Two suggestions: an option to mute all sounds (not only music) and an IAP to remove ads. Other than that, very good!
