Authentication and storage
CIRCLE does not require email or password registration. When starting the app, an anonymous Firebase Auth account is created in the background. Progress, rankings and statistics are stored in Cloud Firestore (collections such as players, runs and player_progress). Some information is also saved locally on the device.
Ad types in CIRCLE
- Banner on the main menu.
- Interstitial when exiting a match (with cooldown between ads).
- Rewarded video optional to get +1 life; watching the ad is the player's choice.
Ads are served by Google AdMob. They may use the device advertising identifier. You must not click on ads artificially.
Third-party services
- Google Firebase — anonymous Auth and Firestore.
- Google AdMob — advertising.
