The in-app purchase says "remove non-SEGA adverts" which sounds like you'll still see ads even after paying, which seems shady to me.

Second, I've got a retro arcade collection on iOS/android that might be a bit harder for the 4yo but has some games he can play. My niece likes "pong" and "duck hunt". Check my website for more info. I'm working on a graphics revamp as well.

I have a second game (on iOS only) that's free called "tic tac blam" that might be easier for them to pick up. I'd appreciate feedback on either one.

Well if it's Sega ads it'll probably just be ads for future free games you can download, or possibly for their console game releases. As long as the frequency is much less, that's might not be too bad, and possibly useful.

Right, but it's still odd since most people would expect all ads to be removed if they pay.
