stability

The game experiences significant stability issues, with frequent freezes occurring during gameplay and when attempting to exit, leading to potential loss of progress. Users recommend saving frequently to mitigate these problems, as the auto-save feature may not always activate. Overall, these stability flaws detract from an otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.
- “Make sure to periodically save your game; sometimes it freezes, and if auto-save didn't kick in, you're out of luck!”
- “It's a really good game, but with one major flaw: from time to time, every time I try to exit the game, it freezes my phone completely. I can't use it and have to wait until the battery runs out and charge it before I'm able to use my phone again. It would have been a 5-star game if not for that flaw.”
- “Fun, but every time a device popup appears, the game freezes, and I lose the progress I didn't save.”
