Even when games had ads most of them didn't have any charges except a $0.99 charge for no ads. The whole "pay for lives" model was brand new at that time.

    In the trailer, they straight up took the 'new features' from Flappy Dragon, arguably the best Flappy Bird clone on the app store right now imo. You collect dragons by hatching them from eggs, each having a special skill that helps you collect currency, find powerups more often, and you can even destroy towers which is super fun.
