Kind of a bait and switch.

Functionality is there, but this only allows you to play 10 levels before having to upgrade to the paid version.

Wow! Oldest game on the IPhone?

I saw this game on an iPhone before the world even knew iPhones were real. Or maybe just *barely* afterwards. But it was close (life was exciting back then, a lot was happening.)

To see it updated for the iPhone 12‽ that’s amazing. Has any iOS app had such longevity? Amazing.
