The server decides
Every battle is replayed on our servers from the player's own moves, and only the server's result counts.
Octopus Kin
Game Security
Octopus Kin is the game-security team of Shadowmire Studio. It keeps our games fair: the server decides every result, every purchase is confirmed with the store, and a person reads every report.
What it does
Refund and permanent bans follow the player
When an account banned for refund abuse, or banned for good, is deleted, a new account with the same Apple or Google sign-in is refused for as long as the ban runs.
Every purchase is checked
Our server confirms each purchase with Apple or Google before it gives anything.
Refund abuse costs
A refund leaves a balance owed, and spending stops until it is repaid. Repeated refunds bring a ban.
Limits on every request
Requests are limited per player and per action, and their size is capped.
People read the reports
A report is reviewed by a person, and a mute comes only from that review. Names and chat pass a word filter; if the filter can't load, writing stops instead of going through unchecked.
Encrypted where it matters
Every connection is encrypted. Sign-in sessions are kept as fingerprints, never the original; Apple's keys are sealed; backups are encrypted before they leave the server.
