I'm not convinced but I want to try it just to see what it's like !

From what I understand it's only available in the Philippines at the moment (I think?) but it is a bit strange that I haven't seen the APK floating around. Usually APKs for free games appear almost instantly.

Actually, the APK is "floating around" already. Google is your friend.

Seems this version of the game is not compatible with my phone but I'm sure it will work for others here.

Last time I googled, nothing came up. You posted this and now they are there.
But apparently all the posts that are showing up for me were posted in the last 48 hours or so.

If you have a PC you can always try it with an emulator.

I've not really enjoyed what I've tried so far.

The grind is insane. The controls are a bit wonky. The whole premise is a bit dull.

The sound design is quite nice though. The menus and attention to detail with the gear aren't bad either.

Any safe site for the apk, I don't trust downloading apks from just any website.

I tried it for an hour now and I don't think I'll go back to it in this state personally.
Menus are lovely, sounds are actually nice and I like them. Details and certain animations are also entertaining.

Controls are horrible on touch screen in my opinion, maybe I'll boot it up on my PC emulator for Android and bind movement to keys on the keyboard and see if that's any better.

And yes, the grind is apparently massive, you need to replay levels A LOT in order to progress.

Doesn't get any safer than MEGA

Tried using it on an emulator but it crashed lol

I tried it in Memu and BlueStacks and both of them crashed.
There's still Nox, Mumu and LDPlayer but I am too lazy to install those now for this game xD
