Yes! At the very least put up a BTC or Dogecoin address we can send donations to!

Or maybe go buy Threes which this is a descendant of?

Nice clone but it's definitely a clone and so should be treated as such.

I have Threes and they way way over-designed it. Also it's rubbery interface is really quite annoying. This one however is a perfection - simpler idea, pure gameplay, subtle animations and UI mechanics. It really beats Threes hands down even if it's a "clone".

Yep, and if you have a spare couple of minutes to play a game, the first minute is spent loading it.

They've been promising an android version for some time now. If they don't hurry up, though, they'll get beaten to it by clones.

Not sure if I can do that. Wouldn't it be unethical and unfair to the other developers?

You can always pay some sort of % as tribute, but you've created something that we all find a horrendous waste of time :-) so a way of remunerating you to some degree is not in the least bit unethical.

It's good to get paid for your work, even if it was fun.
