I remember when the game came out. It seemed astonishingly complex given the hardware. They might have ran out of memory and had no choice but to just run the same code each time a rock was touched. I think the original gameboy had 8 KB of RAM. The cartridges could expand on that by a decent amount but every byte cost money and I’m sure their bosses weren’t letting them go nuts on manufacturing costs.
