Terms of use

These terms govern the use of cruxglance.com. Reading the site means accepting them. They are short because the site is simple: it publishes editorial writing about mobile games and does nothing else.

1. Who publishes this site

cruxglance.com is published by a private individual, Michael O’Brien, of 1026 St Clair Ave W, Toronto, ON M6E 1A4, Canada, telephone +1 647-346-6772, e-mail letters@cruxglance.com. There is no company, no corporate group and no editorial staff beyond that one person.

2. What the site is

The site is an independent editorial guide to sweets, candy and fruit themed games published on Google Play in Canada. It describes what those games are like to play, reports the store category, the public rating and the price shown on the Canadian storefront, and gives an opinion. It is not a shop, not a store front and not a download source. It offers no account, no membership, no subscription of its own and no service that has to be paid for.

3. Independence and the brands named here

The operator is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by or acting for Google LLC, Google Play, Halfbrick Studios, Xiamen Yaoyao Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing Youyoutang Technology Co.,ltd., Pragmatic Play or any other developer, publisher or brand mentioned on this site. No fee, commission or consideration of any kind is received for a mention, a place in the order of the entries or a favourable opinion. Where a name or a mark appears, it is used to identify the product being written about, which is a nominative use and does not imply a relationship.

4. Accuracy of store data

Prices, ratings, review counts, developer names, package names and store categories are copied from Google Play as shown on the Canadian storefront on the date stated on the home page. Those values change without notice and can differ between accounts, devices and regions. The storefront is always the authority; where this site and the store disagree, the store is right. Corrections are welcome at the address in section 1 and are made as soon as they can be checked.

5. Intellectual property

The text, the layout, the typographic treatment and the editorial selection on this site belong to the operator. You may quote a short passage with a visible link back to the page it came from; wholesale copying, republication or automated scraping of the site is not permitted.

Screenshots, icons, game titles, logos and other game material remain the property of their respective rights holders. They are reproduced here in reduced form, unaltered in substance, for the purpose of identifying and commenting on the games described, which is a fair dealing for the purpose of review and news reporting under the Copyright Act (R.S.C. 1985, c. C-42). A rights holder who would prefer a particular image removed should write to the address in section 1; it will be taken down promptly on request, without argument.

6. Buying the games

Every game described here is listed on Google Play. A one-time purchase in the store is completed inside your own Google account, under Google’s terms, and refunds are handled by Google Play under those same terms. This site takes no order, holds no balance, receives no commission on an install and never sees a card number. Any question about a charge, a receipt or a refund belongs to Google Play support and not to the operator of this site.

7. No warranty

The site is provided as it stands. The operator does not warrant that a page will be available without interruption, that it will be free of error, or that an opinion expressed here will match your own experience of a game. Editorial judgements — how long a session lasts, how steep a learning curve feels, how a board reads on a small screen — are opinions formed in good faith and nothing more.

8. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law of Ontario allows, the operator is not liable for indirect or consequential loss arising from the use of this site, from reliance on information taken from it, or from the unavailability of a page. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and nothing in them removes a right you hold under the Consumer Protection Act, 2002 (S.O. 2002, c. 30, Sch. A) or under any other applicable consumer legislation.

9. Acceptable use

Please do not attempt to interfere with the delivery of the site, to gain access to any part of the hosting environment that is not published, to load the pages by automated means at a rate that degrades them for other readers, or to present the content as your own.

10. Links leaving this site

Some links lead to Google Play or to other external pages. Those destinations are controlled by other people, and the operator has no responsibility for their content, their availability or their handling of personal information. Following such a link is your own decision.

11. Governing law and forum

These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of the use of this site, are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada applicable in that province. The courts of Ontario have jurisdiction, which does not deprive a consumer of the protection of mandatory rules of the place where that consumer is habitually resident.

12. Complaints before any court step

If something on this site has caused you a problem, write first to letters@cruxglance.com with a description of the matter and the page concerned. The operator undertakes to answer within thirty days and to try to settle the question in correspondence. Only if that fails should either side turn to a court.

13. Changes

These terms may be revised. The version published on this page, bearing the effective date at the head of it, is the one in force. Continued reading after a revision means the revised terms are accepted. This version takes effect on 2 September 2026.
