Checked 16 October 2026 · gaps kept on purpose

What a weekly play check leaves off the page

A header is a small box

The public card leads with a star, a review count, an age mark, and a download band. Around that it may say Contains ads or In-app purchases. Further down, an update date and a few tags. That is a lot of shopping information and a thin technical sheet. I treated the header as the whole source for numbers. Anything that lives only in a collapsed panel I did not copy is not in these notes, and I will say which panels I skipped.

People expect a file size because phones warn you before a download. The five headers I used did not give me a megabyte figure. I could have opened another site that claims to track versions. That would have been a second source, with its own date, and this bearing is not a blend of sources. One card, one country, one day.

Version strings

A version like 1.4 is interesting when the store mentions it in prose. Stardew Valley's card mentions 1.4 story content and then says multiplayer is not supported. That is a feature sentence, not a build number I can file as the current version. I did not see a version row in the header block for any of the five. So the notes do not say version 1.12 or whatever a memory suggests. If you need the build, the store shows it on the device during the install flow, or in the section I did not scrape into this filing.

The update dates stand in for freshness, and they are uneven. Dead Cells said 12 Oct 2026. Alto's Odyssey said 16 Oct 2025. Those dates are not a quality scale. They are the dates the card printed. An old date can sit on a game the store still lists as available, which Alto's Odyssey was.

Android requirements

Requires Android is a line I know how to copy when it is there. It was not in the text I extracted from these five cards. Leaving it out means a reader with an old phone learns nothing from me. That is a real limit of the page. The honest fix is a later check that includes that line, dated, not a guess of Android 8 or Android 12 because those numbers feel current in 2026.

Alto's Odyssey did say it is available on Android and Windows. Availability is not a minimum OS version. I kept the sentence and refused to stretch it.

Data safety

Google Play has a Data safety section. I did not copy its categories for these five apps. Permissions, data shared, and data collected are exactly the sort of facts that go stale and exactly the sort of facts I should not reconstruct from a general sense of what a game collects. The for-parents page says this in shorter words. I am saying it again here because this is the note about omissions, and data safety is the largest one.

If I add that panel later, the corrections log should show the date I read it. A silent edit would make the 16 October pages look like they always had a privacy table. They did not.

Stars are not a histogram

I copied a single average and a review count. I did not copy the five-to-one bar chart, even where the page draws one. A bar chart is a different object. Publishing averages without the bars is already a simplification, and I do not want to invent the shape of the bars from the average. 4.8 from 135K reviews can hide a tail. I do not know the tail.

Review text is worse. I read enough of the page to find the header. I did not sample reviews and call it a sentiment. One angry paragraph about mobile controls on Stardew Valley crossed the screen while I was looking for the developer name. I am not promoting that paragraph into a finding.

Country

The same app id can show a different star and a different age label on the US card. I saw that while checking whether the pages had loaded. I discarded the US numbers. PEGI marks are what the Netherlands card used: 12, 7, 12, 16, and 3. A US Teen label is a different system. Mixing them would make the for-parents table look more precise than it is.

Prices moved with the country too. The US card had dollar amounts. The Netherlands card had euros, and Stardew Valley was €4.89 rather than a tidy 4.99. I kept the awkward number. Rounding it would have been a small lie.

What you should do with a blank

Treat a blank as unknown. Open the store link. Read the live size, the live price, and the live age mark on the account you actually use. If those disagree with this site, believe the store, then tell me by post if you want the log updated. The address is Hofplein 20, 18th floor, 3032 AC Rotterdam.

The five stills are the store's images. They are not proof of how the game runs on your phone. One Vampire Survivors frame carries the store's own slogan over the horde. I left the slogan. Editing the store's creative to look like pure gameplay would have been a nicer picture and a worse record.

The pages are a bearing, not a mirror of the whole store. The mirror is the card I linked.

Editors' badges and chart labels

On a US card I had open for a moment, some of these apps carried an Editors' Choice mark or a chart position. I did not bring those badges onto the Netherlands notes unless the Netherlands header showed them in the block I copied. A chart label is the store talking about its own list. If I repeat it as a heading, this site starts to look like a chart I run. I do not run one. The rank on the homepage is the order of five URLs.

Screenshots were the other place a badge can hide. A slogan across a horde, a blue band under a farm, a crossover poster I refused to use as the row image. I picked stills that show the game running, and I left the store's type on them when it was part of the file. That is a record of the gallery, not a cleaned press kit.

What a second check would add

A second afternoon would open the same five ids, write a new date, and list only the lines that moved: price, stars, review count, download band, age mark, ads, purchases, update date. If nothing moved, the corrections log can say that in a single sentence. If size and version have appeared by then, they join the notes with the new date, and the old pages keep the sentence that says they were absent on 16 October 2026.

I would still not add a histogram from memory, and I would still not borrow a US age label to decorate a PEGI row. The limit of this bearing is the same limit as the first hour. One card. One country. The blanks named out loud.

One more blank belongs on the list. I did not count how many screenshots each gallery holds, and I did not download every frame. One still per card is what the row shows. The rest of the gallery stays on the store. A partial gallery on this site would look like a complete one if I did not say it was partial. It is partial.
