Note:
• This game is performance-heavy. If you encounter any performance issues, please lower the graphics in Settings. Also, playing while recording the screen might reduce the frame rate.
• Some contents are locked, and you need to make a purchase to unlock them. The game is free to download so that you can test whether your device can handle the heavy graphics before paying for it. The purchase is restorable under the same Apple ID.
