A question, a problem or an idea: write to trinathpittala@gmail.com. Say which device you play on (iPhone, iPad or Android) and what happened, and we will get back to you.
The first time it opens, the game asks how old you are, once. Only the group the answer falls in (child, teen or adult) is kept, on the device, and it changes nothing but how ads are shown. Deleting and reinstalling the game asks again.
A marker lights up, a performer leaps to it, and you tap the performer as it lands. Right on the beat is Perfect, a touch early or late is Good. How to play, on the title screen, shows it in three pages, and the first stage teaches it as you go.
Sound reaches your ears a little after the game plays it, more so through Bluetooth headphones. Settings, then Timing, measures it: tap along to eight clicks, and the game judges every catch with that delay taken out. Measure again whenever you change speakers or headphones.
Progress (cleared stages, best scores and ranks) and settings are kept on the device only. They are not backed up by us or synced between devices, and deleting the game deletes them. Settings, then Reset progress, wipes them on purpose.
The first island comes with the game. Each later island downloads the first time you open it, from the App Store or Google Play, so that needs a connection once; after that it plays offline.
The whole game is free and there is nothing to buy, so there is nothing to restore. A short ad may play when you move on from a cleared stage, once you have cleared a few; never during a stage. Ads for a child or a teen are never personalised; an adult chooses, and where the law asks for it, Settings has an Ad choices ticket to change that later.
Signing in is optional, from the Hall of Records: Game Center on iPhone and iPad, Google Play Games on Android. It keeps your achievements and total scores on your own profile there. Sign out in the Settings app, under Game Center, or in the Google Play Games app.
What the game stores, and what it does not, is in the privacy policy.
