The game can no longer be re-downloaded on newer devices even if it was previously bought at the game's listed price ($5.99). The stated motive was as follows: "Unfortunately, this title is not updated nor supported on more recent tech", however this is not true as games delisted long ago like Flappy Bird are still downloadable from your purchase history even if you have an old Android device that should support it. The game is still fully functional if the APK file is sideloaded onto Android 12. | ||
