Age Recommendations

ℹ️Ages 3-5
Not recommended — fast reflex demands and frequent ads/IAP make it frustrating and inappropriate for very young children without supervision.
ℹ️Ages 6-8
Use with supervision — gameplay is non-violent and simple, but set parental controls to block purchases and be aware of ad interruptions.
ℹ️Ages 9-12
Generally appropriate — encourage breaks, disable in‑app purchases or require permission, and discuss ads/targeting.
ℹ️Ages 13-15
Appropriate — discuss spending limits and screen-time; game is non-violent but designed to be replayable and potentially habit-forming.
ℹ️Ages 16-18
Appropriate for older teens — warn about in‑app purchases and ads; suitable as casual play with self-regulated use.
