I installed that on both my computer and phone after someone mentioned it in some HN comment a few months ago. On my phone it has been the only game I have played in several years that wasn't in an emulator (mostly DOSBox).

Also convinced my kids to install it on their phones, hoping that it will distract them somewhat from the apps they otherwise use. Not much success with that. I guess there isn't enough bling. If it was full of animated coins and sound effects triggering on every interaction it would probably work much better for competing with normal app-driven rubbish mobile games.

I wonder if they would be happy with modern graphics but no twitchy bling. I mean, 3d shaded and colorful tiles. Kids these days associate spartan graphics with old school/boring gameplay.

A version with better UI for mobile could be super neat.

And I don't mean that it needs to be a Flutter app that launches in 3 business days and eats battery like a horse, just that it didn't look like it's from 2012. (Some of the UI design elements are also frankly confusing)
