About this APK

Brain Wars is a game by Translimit, Inc in the Puzzle category, listed since at least January 2021. It includes native code only for ARM 64-bit, so it won't install on phones that can only run 32-bit apps.

Since version 1.0.68, the minimum Android version rose from 4.4 to 8.0. It asks for 22 permissions, 4 of them sensitive, including read phone status and identity, find accounts on the device and read shared storage. Compared with version 1.0.68, it adds 6 new permissions (“Modify shared storage”, “Access adservices ad id”, “Access adservices attribution” and 3 more) and drops 2 (“Run at startup” and “Receive push notifications”). The game offers in-app purchases through Google Play and can read the advertising ID that ad and analytics services use.
