Removed subjective examples.


* PolishedPort: The Android version of the game has enhanced graphics, as well as some bug fixes that make the game much more playable than the original PC version, such as rolling being mapped to its own button instead being mapped to a double-tap of the directional buttons, which made it easier to roll when you wanted to.
* PortingDisaster: Though the Android versions do contain a lot of fixes, it can also be considered this due to the amount of newly added bugs. The ability to save is also gone, too, as the developers were not entirely sure how to work with the new system's functionality. Thankfully, an update is in the works.
