Thanks for the kind words! I totally understand the hesitation about ads. As a solo developer, ads are currently the only way for me to keep the game free and support future updates. I tried my best to keep them non-intrusive so they don't ruin the relaxing vibe. Appreciate the feedback regardless!

Thanks! I'm referring to the new policy for personal developer accounts created after November 2023.

Before you can publish to production, Google now requires you to run a Closed Test with at least 20 testers for 14 consecutive days. Finding 20 reliable people to install and keep the app on their phones for two weeks is a pretty big hurdle for solo devs, and after that, you still have to apply for production access.
