EDIT: We've raised over $500, and I am now able to pay for the servers! Thank you to everyone who contributed!
If any of the contributors would like a shout out or some in-game reward feel free to DM me on Discord or by email

Last month, the game had a huge and sudden spike in traction. Player count on Android at some point reached 100,000 active players per day.
This would be great news if not one problem: because of a spike in bandwidth usage, server costs suddenly went up as well.
For the month of May, I have to pay $890.43 for the servers. If I don't pay until 7th of June, the game will get limited to 20 concurrent players.
I don't have so much money at the moment and am unable to pay. Revenue from last month will only arrive at the end of June.
Right now I could pay ~$400 without the risk of starving or losing the roof over my head. But ~$500 more would remain to be paid.
If you happen to have spare money and are able to help, here is my PayPal:

(I would have set up a GoFundMe but it's not available in Russia)
If anybody decides to help, I'll update the news section in game with the progress towards this goal as often as I can (whenever I'm awake).

On a more positive note, the next update will implement hard bot difficulty and an in-depth tutorial, as well as a few UX improvements. Should come out some time this month.
