Cons
Con In app purchases despite being upfront paid
There are in app purchases that range from $1.16 - $15.06 per item for purchasing in game currency, something that is usually found in free to play games. Sadly this is an upfront paid game that has a price of $2.86, that still wants users to spend even more money on the game after they already bought it.
Con Cloud saves not through Google services
An extra account will need to be used in order to take advantage of the cloud saving as it does not work with Googles solution to cloud saves. While this does allow for the cloud saves to work cross platform, people may not want to take the extra step to make a new account with Butterscotch Shenanigans.
