This helped me to find out that my Huawei phone had "AI Touch" enabled. That apparently is a feature to touch any image with two fingers and the super smart AI finds out what is shown in the picture and where to buy it.

Goes without saying that I immediately disabled this. /shrug

Unconventional, but I played this both solo and with my kiddos. As a multiplayer co-op game it really shines. Granted it's easier than solo, but maneuvering multiple people around a tiny phone was absurdly funny.

this was fun. Any suggestions for other casual co-op games on the phone that I can play with my almost-4 year old?

Great game! Though I'm not sure if I solved the last level in the way it was intended to be solved - I wouldn't have been able to do it the way I did it if my fingers were like half a cm shorter

Amazing. That’s a feature you’d expect at the top of an HN brainstorm for comically bad, far fetched phone ideas.

What's annoying and counter to popular convention / user expectations is that you have to keep your finger in the established path to keep grip of the "ball". (S'pecially given your finger often blocks the view of it).

Why is it annoying? The feedback is immediate and highly discoverable. The Lock Screen on your phone has totally different criteria (ease, muscle memory) than a toy that uses the same metaphor (fun/challenging) Also: isn’t it more fun this way??

I actually liked it, but my daughters immediate reaction was “This is so annoying” (but in all caps).

Meanwhile, I find typing anything on my phone very annoying.
