### 5/5 — Bug al Game over

*2024-05-24, version 2.0.0*

Gioco a questo gioco da tanto tempo e sono qui per segnalare due cose che non mi piacciono. La prima è che il Signore in facile è più veloce di noi, insomma andrebbe ridotta un pochino la sua velocità. La seconda è che alla terza morte il gioco si blocca e non si riesce a vedere il filmato di Game over
