The Block Strike app quits mid-game

I dont really play it, but my little brother playd it and he said that while he was playing a match, the screen went black for one second, and he was at the hime screen. He told me to fix it, I told him not to yell, and here I am asking for help.
 
So you have a particular game which crashed. Does it happen just once or repeatedly, always in the same place or randomly?

To be honest the possibilities range from a bug in the game (which only the developer can fix, if you describe the problem in sufficient detail to them) to a problem with the device or OS. If he was playing a long time it could indicate a memory leak (bug in app) or even that the device overheated and stopped processes to protect itself (especially if he was charging at the same time). He may even have jut inadvertently pressed something else and thrown himself out of the app or killed it.

It's really hard to say just from "the app shut down" what the problem is, which is why I asked some of the earlier questions. If it always fails at the same point it's probably a bug in the game. If it's more random then it's harder to say. If only happened once then there's probably nothing anyone can do and probably not worth worrying about

Well, the phone has not overheated in a while and I ensure that he never plays and charges at the same time. It must be a bug in the game I suppose.
