PaulHi and welcome to our forums!
Yes indeed the Sentinel application sleeps (not quits) when you press quit. This is the google recommended way for an Android game to behave, and force quitting applications on android is not recommended.
The Android OS takes care of closing down apps when memory is required. They recommend this method to allow apps to resume execution easily if they are used regularly. So, in the case of Sentinel, it will resume right where you left off without having to go through the menu and resume your game.
Its worth noting that it will not take up any CPU cycles when the game is in this state, so will not be slowing your device down in any way. If your device requests more memory, the Android OS will shut down Sentinel or other apps which are inactive to recoup some memory.
