### 2/5 — Kind of interesting

*2026-02-26*

Until you realize the game is designed to get the player to buy hints.    You will be pixel hunting every area of the screen to find something you can interact with(could be an up swipe, down or side swipe on anything or a double tap on anything).   To random.  The goal is to get you to spend money.
