Placed 161st overall!
Work continues on Back to the Island post-competition.
"I had no intention, none whatsoever, of going back... BACK TO THE ISLAND."
Avoid the critters roaming the grasslands, collect coins, and make your way to the chequered flag to advance to the next island. Rinse and repeat.
Arrow keys, WASD/ZQSD, or a gamepad's left stick to move on desktop; virtual joystick to move on mobile/tablet.
