Cons
Con Broken on Android Marshmallow devices
Unfortunately, Spirits doesn't work with Android devices with Android 6.0 Marshmallow installed (or higher). The game simply freezes or crashes instantly while loading.
Con Slow-moving gameplay
Spirits is intended to be a slow, relaxing game, though some may not enjoy the extent of the title's slowness.
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.
Con Not free game
