### 2/5 — Fun but needs better control

*2026-03-08*

As others have mentioned, pulling the top right corner of a color often results in pulling down the Notification Center and losing a life or just breaking the flow of the game. For this reason, I will be deleting the app. It is not fun to continuously fight with the notification screen.
