Do you hate ads? Do you hate in-app purchases? Yeah well we do too which is why we created UP. UP is the ONLY game on the app store where you can get rid of ads by just playing! Here’s how it works: When you first get the game, You will be graced with an ad every time you lose, but as you improve at the game, you will begin to receive less and less ads until you hit 2000m (yes, although it’s hard, it is possible to get that far). This is a simple, one touch game. Each tap changes the horizontal direction of the ball, allowing you to avoid each obstacle as they approach you at progressively faster and faster speeds. GAME FEATURES: Endless, obstacle avoiding game play that included fun music and cool animations The ability to unlock new icons as you improve in score The ability to go AD FREE for FREE Color theme changes Unique and challenging obstacles 0 in-app purchases AD SCHEME: In UP, ads are displayed on a per game over basis (each # is ads per game over): 1: 0-699m 2: 700-999m 3: 1000-1399m 4: 1400-1699m 5: 1700-1899m 6: 1900-1999m NO ADS @ 2000m! https://jaredweinsteingames.com/app-ads.txt
