Lives, Tokens, and rewarded ads

Open Lives & Tokens from the life counter. Spending 100 Tokens adds one life only when the run is not complete and there is room below the five-life cap. Tokens are not deducted if a life cannot be added.

A rewarded ad is an optional alternative. One life is granted only after Google reports that the reward was earned. Closing an ad early, a failed load, no inventory, or a presentation error grants no life. Ad availability requires provider approval, consent where required, and a working network connection.

In-app purchases

USD 0.00 download. Free gameplay with an interstitial between completed levels, an optional rewarded ad for one life, a $2.99 non-consumable Remove Ads product, and a $0.99 consumable pack of 300 Tokens; 100 Tokens may be redeemed for one life.

• Remove Ads is a non-consumable product intended to cost $2.99 in the U.S. It permanently suppresses automatic interstitials between completed levels for the purchasing Apple Account. It does not remove or disable the optional rewarded-life choice.
• 300 Tokens is a consumable pack intended to cost $0.99 in the U.S. One life costs 100 Tokens. Tokens do not expire, but the balance is stored in the app’s local container.

The App Store purchase sheet shows the actual localized price and terms before confirmation. There is no subscription, recurring charge, loot box, or randomized paid reward. Both products are configured without Family Sharing.

Restore purchases and changing phones

On the main menu, choose Restore Purchases while signed in to the Apple Account that bought Remove Ads. Restore is for the non-consumable Remove Ads entitlement. Consumable Token packs are not repurchased or recreated by StoreKit’s restore flow.

A device backup may carry the current Token balance to a restored device according to Apple’s backup behavior and the user’s settings. Without that backup, deleting or reinstalling the app can remove a local Token balance. Keep the App Store receipt email and contact support if a verified purchase appears not to have delivered.

Pending, failed, refunded, or revoked purchases

A purchase can remain pending for Ask to Buy or another App Store approval. Wait for Apple’s result; do not repeatedly buy the same item. If products do not load, check the network, Apple Account, Screen Time purchase restrictions, and App Store service status, then use Retry App Store.

Apple controls billing and refund eligibility. To request a refund, visit reportaproblem.apple.com. A refunded or revoked Token transaction can remove its 300-Token credit from the local balance without making the balance negative.

Interstitial ads and Remove Ads

An automatic interstitial may appear only after completing levels 1 through 9, before play continues. If an ad is unavailable, consent does not allow a request, the device is offline, or the ad cannot present, the next level continues without it. Remove Ads suppresses these automatic interstitial requests.

Rewarded ad inventory remains available as an optional way to earn a life, even after Remove Ads. The app may prepare rewarded inventory in advance. See the privacy policy and privacy choices.

Local progress, backups, and deletion

Turn Ahead stores the best score, music preference, Token balance, Remove Ads state, and processed or reversed App Store transaction identifiers locally. A current road run is not a cloud save. Play pauses while the app is in the background, but a full relaunch can begin a new run.

There is no account, sign-in, custom cloud sync, export, or developer-operated game server. Turn Ahead version 1.0 has no single erase-data button. Removing the app removes its local app container; an Apple-managed backup may restore local data later. The Remove Ads purchase remains in Apple’s transaction history and can be restored separately.

Music and accessibility

Music can be turned on or off from the main menu. Car destinations use both color and a symbol. Buttons and counters include spoken labels for VoiceOver, and important outcomes have visible feedback.

The core board is a visual, spatial, direct-touch puzzle. Individual SpriteKit road tiles are not exposed as separate VoiceOver controls in version 1.0, so the complete routing workflow is not fully playable with VoiceOver alone. The portrait board also uses a fixed game layout rather than fully scaling with larger text settings. Contact support if another accessibility barrier appears.

Troubleshooting checklist

• If a car is stopped, inspect the road opening on both sides of its next tile seam.
• If it was just reconnected, keep the route stable for the one-second safety pause.
• If a car reaches the top, confirm that its color and symbol match that garage.
• If Send Next Car Now is dimmed, all ten cars may already be out or play may be paused.
• If an ad or purchase sheet is open, gameplay intentionally pauses.
• If a rewarded ad is unavailable, wait for it to load or try again after checking the network.
