### 1/5 — Why is this still on the store?

*2026-08-05, version 1.4.12.1*

This appears to be no longer compatible with iPhones, why is it still available for purchase? I can get the main menu to load but when I press play nothing happens. On the off chance anyone else is stupid enough to buy this in 2026 let this be a warning.

### 1/5 — Unresponsive
