Grovekin Terms Of Service

Last updated: 2026-09-23

Scope

Grovekin is an offline-first mobile puzzle battler. The game is playable without network access; network is used for platform purchases/restore, optional account sign-in, privacy information and optional Google test ads in ad-enabled beta builds.

Live ads remain disabled. The build does not include gameplay analytics upload, cloud save, online multiplayer, premium currency, paid chests, paid Coins, paid consumables, paid gameplay bundles, Chest Ticket sales, or subscription passes.

Guardrails: No automatic ads. Optional rewarded test ads require a deliberate choice; skipping ads never blocks play. No paid gameplay advantage. No login required to play, buy, or restore.

Local Save Data

Player progress is stored locally on the device. Local backup/restore behavior exists for save resilience, but cloud save is not implemented. Progress may be lost if app data is deleted, the device is wiped, or storage fails beyond the local backup path.

Purchases And Restore

Where supported by the installed build and platform store, the Founder Supporter Pack is a permanent, restorable, cosmetic/status-only non-consumable at the platform-displayed price. A product description does not guarantee that it is currently available for purchase. Paid Coin packs, paid companions and an ad-free purchase are not currently offered. It does not grant gameplay power, Coins, Chest Tickets, consumables, chests, random rewards, item progress, or stage clears.

Purchases are processed and refunded by the platform stores under their policies. Use Restore Purchases in the Store or Settings screens to recover the supporter cosmetics after reinstalling or moving devices on the same store account. If the platform revokes or refunds a purchase, the matching entitlement may be removed.

Optional Account

Creating a Grovekin account (email and password) is optional and free. It is never required to play, buy, or restore purchases. Accounts may enable future cross-device features. You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure. You can sign out or permanently delete the account from the in-game Account screen; deletion does not affect local progress or store purchases.

Fair Play

Coins and consumables have free gameplay earning routes. Optional rewarded test ads grant only the displayed benefit after completion; a load failure or early close gives no reward. One revive per run removes two bottom rows without changing score or boss HP; the coin placement grants one Coin up to three times per UTC day. Ad-assisted runs are recorded separately. Test ads do not generate revenue. Future production rewards require a verified server receipt and successful local save; a delayed reward can be retried without another ad. Reward recovery is tied to the installation and original run, with server records retained for 30 days and removed by a daily cleanup. Ending or replacing a run does not restore that old run later. Pets, weapons, objects, and gameplay-affecting items have earned gameplay routes. Players should not modify save data, exploit test/debug features, or use third-party tools to bypass normal gameplay. Debug-only commands must remain gated or stripped from release builds.

Content

Grovekin contains cartoon puzzle combat, boss pressure blocks, and fantasy critter characters. It does not include gore, realistic violence, gambling, user-generated content, or online social interactions in this release lane.

Changes

We may update these terms as functionality changes. Material changes to analytics, cloud save, advertising, purchases or online features will be reflected in the terms and privacy policy before release.
