Grindstone on this play bulletin proof

Checked: Grindstone, id 1357426636, bundle com.capybaragames.grindstone, developer and seller Capybara Games Inc. Result: 4.64 from 109 ratings, age 12+, version 1.1.41 updated 22 May 2026, 987.7 MB, iOS 13.0 or later. No price figure. No install count.

Size is the outlier

987.7 MB is the largest file size in the five-card set. WHAT THE GOLF? is 296.3 MB. Royal Match is 318.9 MB. The proof records the size and does not infer why the binary is heavy. Device storage is the practical consequence a reader can check before opening the store.

What the description names

The Dutch card calls Grindstone a sword-and-puzzle fight from the makers of Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes, and Critter Crunch. It says the grindstone mountain is overrun by mean creatures and that the climb needs puzzle skill and a sharper sword. The tag on the shortlist, "sword-puzzle climbs", is that sentence compressed. I do not have a level count from the card.

Advisories are printed, unlike the two 4+ cards. The Dutch labels, rendered in English for this note: occasional mild alcohol, tobacco, or drug references; frequent intense animated or fictional violence; occasional mild crude humour; occasional mild contests. The age line is 12+. The contests descriptor is quoted because it is on the card. This site does not turn that word into a product category.

Rank against a small sample

109 ratings is the smallest count in the set. The average is still third. A small count moves more when new ratings arrive. The next check in the archive should copy both the average and the count again, not only the rank.

The seller URL on the card is capybaragames.com. The proof does not copy that studio's other catalogue. The description names three earlier titles as a pedigree line. Those names are quoted so a reader can see the sentence. They are not extra cards in this shortlist and they were not checked on 16 October 2026.

987.7 MB is large enough to matter on a phone that is already full. The protocol states the size and stops. It does not recommend a device. iOS 13.0 is the minimum printed, which is lower than the iOS 15.0 line on Sneaky Sasquatch and Royal Match. A phone that can run this card may still fail the other two. That comparison is the useful one.

109 ratings make the 4.64 average easy to move. One more check should copy the count even if the rank looks stable. The contests descriptor stays in the advisory quote and nowhere else on the page, so it cannot be mistaken for a betting product.

Version 1.1.41 on 22 May 2026 is the spring update in a set otherwise clustered in September 2026 and December 2025. The proof does not call May abandoned. It calls it the date on the card. If the next archive row shows a later version, the May date moves to history and the rank is recalculated from the new average only. The mountain sentence in the description, creatures on the peak, a sword, a puzzle, remains the tag even if the version number changes, until the description itself changes.
