Last week, we reported on Crescent Moon Games turning its older premium titles on Android into free to play games with ad support.

While those who had already paid the premium price for the games didn't get ads while playing, the move didn't prove popular at all.

"After the recent fiasco of going free with premium titles Neon Shadow and Mines of Mars - we have decided that it would be better to just launch separate free versions that are ad supported on Android from now on," Crescent Moon told us.

"Even after adding precautions so that previous buyers wouldn't be affected by the 'going free' we still offended a lot of people and would like to apologize for that."

As stated, moving forward, Crescent Moon will be launching free versions of its premium titles as standalone games while keeping the original version up.

This starts with the launch of the standalone free to play version of Crescent Moon's sci-fi action-RPG Exiles.

You can download it for free on Google Play right now but will get ads. It also has better controller support and more support for lower end Android devices.

If you don't want to play the game with ads then you can purchase the premium version of Google Play instead.
