Puzzle Craft
"Part town building sim, part match-three puzzler"
Same concept as 10000000 in that you play a puzzle to gain resources and then you upgrade to become better. But no timer involved. Its not really match 3, more "match chains of the same". I played it some years ago, from what i can remember there was no need for iap and no forced ads.There is a second game but that one had worse monetization I thought. More to do in the second game though.
The hell? What have I been playing on Android then? I swear I played a game like this a year or two ago.
EDIT: There we go. I'm a little bit confused.
EDIT2: Or did you linked the wrong game here?
EDIT3: Ok, it was the wrong game :) Confusion averted.
As soon as I read it I immediately remembered the game. I just didn't remember the name. I lost 1 hour searching for the game in my history library.I found it !
Even discovering the game, the Play Store won't let me find the game by searching for the name. It is strange and makes me think that there is a lot of money behind the search engine. I got the link to the first game, but unfortunately I didn't find the second one through the Play Store. We can always download it from an external website. Anyway there it is !! Puzzle Craft !

Omg thank you so much, just googled "APK downloader" plugged the link in and now i'm downloading the APK.
I'm more then certain it'd be region based

Not sure if it's too simple, but I really enjoy Puzzle Craft (iPhone / Android) and have just gotten into Puzzle Craft 2 (only iDevices unfortunately). It's both relaxing and challenging, when it comes to resource management. In case of the sequel there's more of a "tech tree" feel.
What's most important for me in these games is that there are no timers or necessity for microtransactions.
