Build info

Press F11 to toggle full-screen mode in your browser; there is also a button in the bottom-right corner to switch to it.

For the best experience with the web build, use Google Chrome or another Chromium-based browser, as performance is smoother.

However I highly recommend to play a desktop version, since web build might be a bit glitchy.
