Documented testing is limited to a Galaxy Z Fold 7 (Snapdragon 8 Elite, Adreno 830, Android 16) through the opening and Outset. Saving/reloading, other devices/GPUs, controllers and later game remain untested. Thermal throttling lowers speed; optimization training is recommended. Uninstalling deletes saves unless backed up. The built APK contains locally translated game code and must not be redistributed.
