Recently fixed after a short period of being inaccessible. If this has worked when I went to play it without issue I'd have treated out higher, but now that it's fixed I'll give it 3/5.

cannot buy from inapp purchases. the menu shows, but when tapping on item, nothing happened. there's no price indicator on each item shown.

I'm giving it one star because for some reason it won't run on my phone. I have a Motorola Moto g 2025, it should be able to run it no issue. I even gave it 12gb of ram. The title screen comes on and then it does nothing just stay on the title screen. if I touch the screen it will give a popup saying it's not responding. If you can get it working for me I'll gladly give it more stars.
