Happy Colour has been worth paying for no ads, if you’re looking for an alternative.

One of my favourite apps (Zen colouring) has been removed from my phone because Google flagged it as unsafe. Booooo.

You might be able to install it directly if you can find the apk install file. I had to do that with ghost commander, which is a file browser.

Thanks for the idea!

I miss simple games. There used to be lots of little basic games with endless levels without a million ads, bouncing pop ups every turn, endless in game purchase etc. I just want something calming I can play for 15min while I have my coffee. There’s a gap in the market. I guess it must be unprofitable.

Flight Control
Plants vs. Zombies
Peggle
Angry Birds (original one)
Fieldrunners
Asphalt 6
Jetpack Joyride
Doodle JumpI actually have a couple of these still installed. I think they all cost something like $1-$5 to install but that was it. No in app purchases, no ads etc. So nice.

Field runners is the first game I ever played on a touch screen. And it’s a great game!

Unfortunately, Fieldrunners is one that loses its appeal once you have figured out how to reliably beat it on the hardest difficulty.
I’ve just remembered there was a pocket version of Civilization. That one got played so much!! And very re-playable.

Look at a game called mini motorways.

Yeah that happened to me tonight too. My husband bypassed the restriction. Tbh I don’t know what he did. I pointed and said “fix it”.

I might give it a few days to hopefully solve itself, seen a few comments about it being because of an ad. Given it seems the devs have been rolling out new features I hope they can work it out.

I think it was a weight loss ad. When you try to skip the ad, it directs you to their website. The ad itself was a bit odd too. It was a bit fat shamie.
