*2024-09-24, version 3.0.5*

I remember playing this back in 2018 on my old phone and I don’t think this game’s shown anything beyond black screen since mid 2020. I know it’s been eons since last update so I don’t expect this review to lead to anything substantial but it would be nice for this game to work again because it really is good.
