### 1/5 — Did not function

*2025-01-14, version 1.1*

The coin remains almost static, no matter how you try to “shove” it. The game simply didn’t function.

### 1/5 — Little Control

*2024-11-11, version 1.1*

Very difficult to shove the ha’penny, coin went too slow and sideways most of the time. Not worth the trouble!
