Why it’s a 5 star

There are some bugs like sometimes if you beat a campaign you don’t get mana but there is things to love like the fact that you can simulate cool things like a alien invasion and create a forest

Please fix for this iOS

I sure would love to play this again on my iPhone 16 plus with my son. Show him what I had years ago without the glitches.
