Minimum requirements: 150 MB storage and 1GB RAM. I'm not sure why I'm so surprised that a game can be so lightweight and yet popular. It really puts the rest of the shiny graphics games industry to shame

1Gb RAM is kinda wild, no? I wonder what's eating up that much memory

I mean if most people have a phone that can run that pretty handily then why not uncompress the whole game into RAM to avoid any hiccups.

I run it on my mobile and could honesty fry an egg afterwards. Is in serious need for some optimization.

I'm running on a S10+ with absolutely no issues. And this is a 6 year old phone.

Presumably the minimum specs also needs to account for the resources to run the OS
