im confident everyone here has at least heard of the mobile game series Battle Cats. if you are unfamiliar with battle cats, its a strategy game where you deploy cats out to fight other animals. but im here to discuss not battle cats but rather another game made by the same company, PONOS corporation. back when i played battle cats a lot, i decided to download all the other games made by ponos to see if they were also any good. two of the ones i downloaded were sister games called "Onibi". one was called Onibi-Chan Futari. you control two fire orbs with your thumbs and have to dodge water droplets while also collecting fire. its a fun little game to kill time with, and ive had a lot of enjoyment with it. the other game, Onibi-Chan Hitori was a different story. thought im not positive how it played, from the few screenshots of it i have it seemed to be the same as the other game but with one orb instead of two. upon opening the app, the game would lock on a black screen for a while. after 30ish seconds, the app would simply close. i tried for months to get this game to work, but it never did. i eventually uninstalled it. since then, both apps were deleted off the app store (at least in my region, the usa). ive tried using download links off the web to play it but it always crashes or just never loads at all. for anyone wondering, i still have the sister app downloaded and it works just fine despite having been taken off the appstore. if anyone happens to have any further info about this seemingly lost game id be happy to hear it

This doesn't appear to be lost, considering that according to the comments section and the OP APKs are available. Just nonfunctional on whatever OP was testing with.
