Ooo that's cool, does its report generally agree with what Google Play reports itself about trackers?
I'm not the most knowledgeable in this area, but from what I know Google doesn't really tell you much of anything outside of the developer's claims as to what happens to your data. Exodus actually downloads the app and scans what's in it so you know what's possibly happening behind the scenes. It's extremely common to see Google's tracking for developers to trace down bugs at a minimum, but this didn't even have that.
Nice, I'll try and remember it in the future. For unknown little games I generally just deny them network permission so any trackers that are there won't get very far.
A simple one-button mobile game, seems quite fun despite reminding me that I'm not as good at video games as I'd like to believe
The description in OP immediately made me think of the positively ancient arcade game "Crazy Climber," in which you used two joysticks - one for each half of your body - to climb buildings. Before too long, the coordination required to perfectly time your movements of the two joysticks became quite the challenge for those new to arcade games (which was most of us back then).
Crazy Climber walked so QWOP could run
Oh, somehow I missed that craze - thx for the reference!
I don't know if there's any actual link, but QWOP is always my go-to example of a game with really difficult body-movement controls!
