There is absolutely no advertising at all, except for the Improviser, which we created ourselves. The game can also be found on Armor Games website. And that is it. We love strategies, we did our best to create the game, and it turned out quite decent.

PolyMerge's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
