Soothing to play with perfect difficulty curve

This is an inspired endless runner, Im a little surprised to even say one of the best in App Store given how little attention there is to the game. The game has 4 stages (mountains, desert, forest, arctic) each with progressively harder and stylistically very different challenges (stationary rocks, crocodiles which move horizontally, driftwood which moves with the tide, and floating ice which is like a combo of all three of the other challenges ). Each stage requires a different approach to navigate through. The Moscow-based development team (VIM Digital) really took their efforts to the next level to make this (compared with their earlier work) and unfortunately the game seems to be flying under the radar. The ads popping up in the middle of gameplay is obviously an unintentional programming bug that the developers should fix, if only because it is lowering the games star rating unnecessarily (it may in fact be why this game isnt more recognized). That said, it is worth the $1.99 to remove ads, which supports a great game and fixes the ad pop-up issue completely. One minor note: I think the red bird should be the reward for beating all 50 challenge missions bc thats the only one that alters gameplay by reducing the size of your hitbox. That said, the character should have some balancing negative feature bc once you unlock him there is no incentive to play as the other characters, which is unfortunate bc many of them are clearly lovingly designed and quite creative.
