The Game Saves Before Bedtime
The game pauses just as I reach the giant robot. The screen flashes and says “Saving Game.” I wait for it to complete. When it does, the robot is gone. Instead, a small castle appears with stars above. I press buttons quickly, trying to beat the level before I close my eyes. The castle changes colors—red, blue, green—each time I tap the button. It’s like magic! But then, the screen turns black. I try pressing again, but nothing happens. The castle doesn’t change anymore. I sigh and close the game.
