Game causing Samsung Note 2 to overheat when not plugged in

I've noticed that the game causes my Samsung Note 2 tablet running on Android 4.4.2 to overheat when I'm not plugged into the power charger. This seems to have been the case since at least R64 or R63. Overheating causes the tablet to automatically shutdown the game, which had costs me valuable health and points. Is this something that can be fixed? I can't imagine a game like this needing to use that much computing or mobile power.

And please fix the issue of sucking up mobile data bandwidth as well. Possibly the two are related.
