TROUBLESHOOTING
Game is stuck at the loading screen!
Chiki's Chase seems to be stuck trying to connect to the internet due to poor internet connection. Close your app, then re-open it after disabling your network connection, or using a stronger network.
Game visuals froze / turned weird colours!
Chiki's Chase works best on phones that support OpenGLES 3.2 or Vulkan. Your phone may not be capable of playing the game. I do my best to support devices as early as 2017, but there will always be some devices that are trickier to support. Please stay tuned for future updates.
My save data is gone!
This may happen when updating the game or changing devices. Please close the app, and re-open it while connected to the internet, and signed into your correct Game Center (iOS) or Google Play (Android) account.
I am unable to collect gems!
Collecting gems is only possible if you have paid to remove ads, or have watched a video ad. Watching video ads is only possible if you have an internet connection, and your device and country are allowed to be shown ads.
F.A.Q.
Can video ads be removed?
Removing video ads is a one-time purchase that is tied to your App Store account (on iOS) or your Google Play Store account (on Android). Cross-platform purchase status is not applicable.
How do I refund my purchase?
