Aesthetic Manipulations reported on Mar 3, 2024
Idk if this counts but it offers you to watch an add or spend currency if you fail a level so you don't loose your progress and takes advantage of that want to not loose the time you spent
Competition reported on Mar 3, 2024
Pretty sure they're fake people, but it has "races" based on how many levels you complete in an amount of time
Competition reported on Jan 20, 2023
In infinite mode, you occasionally "level up", which shows how far you've gotten compared to other players. I do not think these "other players" are real, but there's no way to know for sure. Either way, it pits you against other entities.

Ads will pop up everytime you finish a level and during levels.
