## What is Play And Earn?

Play and Earn turns a few minutes of arcade action into coins you can cash out.

Space Attack is a fast, retro-style space shooter. Fly a single ship against formations of enemies and clear them wave by wave as the difficulty climbs. Every level you clear earns a coin.

HOW IT WORKS
• Tap Play Space Attack to start a run — ten plays a day
• Clear a level to earn 1 coin. Three lives per run
• Watch an optional short video after a cleared level for 3-9 bonus coins
• Cash out to PayPal once you reach 2,000 coins ($2.00)

BUILT FOR A SHORT SESSION
Touch or joystick controls, switchable mid-game. Progressive difficulty as you advance. Your best score and recent games sit on the home screen next to what your coin balance is currently worth, and how many plays you have left today.

WHERE THE MONEY COMES FROM
Advertisers pay to reach people, this game shows their advertising, and the coins are your share of it. That is the whole model — no subscription, nothing to buy. It is also why a video pays 3-9 coins where a cleared level pays 1: the video is the most direct form of that share.

HONEST ABOUT THE MATH
This is a small bonus for a game you were going to play anyway, not an income. 10 coins equals one cent, and payouts start at 2,000 coins ($2.00). You can decline every video and still cash out, but on cleared levels alone that is a long road — the videos are most of the earn rate.

Payouts are reviewed before they're sent. PayPal requires account holders to be 18 or over.

No account needed. No sign-up. Just open it and play.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-08

A better-looking game, and a change to cashing out.

The arcade game has been redrawn. Enemies are proper ships now, they bank as
they dive, and each wave flies in and forms up instead of appearing all at
once. Kills burst in colour, and the dive bonus is easier to read.

Your first cash-out is still 2,000 coins ($2.00). Every cash-out after it now
needs 5,000 coins ($5.00). PayPal charges us a near-flat fee on every transfer,
so it takes a far bigger bite out of a small payout than a large one — keeping
your first one cheap and batching the rest leaves more to pay you with. The
reason is shown on the cash-out screen whenever it applies.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-02

Seven languages, working properly this time.

The last update said the app spoke German and French. It didn't — every screen
came out in English whatever your phone was set to. That is fixed, and
Japanese, Korean and Dutch have joined the list.

Everything follows your device language now: the game, your coin balance,
settings, cashing out, contacting support and your payout history. Canadian
French is its own option.

Dates and times in your game history are written the way your language writes
them, too.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-08-22

Now in German and French.

The whole app follows your device language — menus, rewards, settings and
payout history — with Canadian French as its own option.

A darker, cleaner look throughout. The space theme used to stop at the home
screen; settings, payout history and the redeem sheet now match it instead
of sitting on a plain white background.

Fixed: on iPhones with a Dynamic Island, your score in Space Attack was
drawn underneath it and stayed hidden for your whole run. It now has its own
line where you can see it. Clearing a level looks the part now, too.

More videos available when you tap to watch one for extra coins. There's
another provider behind the first, so an empty slot on one no longer means
no video at all.

Also fixed: if bonus coins from a video failed to save, the app still told
you that you'd earned them. It now waits for the coins to land, and says so
if something goes wrong.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-08-11

A BIGGER BONUS
The optional video after clearing a level now pays 3-9 coins instead of a flat 4. On average that's more than before, and the number you see is always the number banked.

Bonus videos are still always optional — you never have to watch one to earn from clearing levels. Cashing out starts at 2,000 coins ($2.00).

SETTINGS, AND DELETING YOUR DATA
There's a Settings screen now. It has the privacy policy, and a way to delete everything we hold about you — your coins, your history and your account — in one tap plus a confirmation. Records of payouts you've already requested are kept for tax and fraud reasons; the app tells you that before you confirm.

GETTING HELP
Settings also has a contact form. Tell us what went wrong and we'll reply by email — your app version and account id are attached automatically, and shown to you before you send, so we can look up a missing payout without a dozen questions first.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-04
