How to play the game:
If you’re a gamer of any level, you’d be aware of the WASD and Arrow keys to move. Similarly, in this game you’ll be using those keys to navigate yourself around! If you don’t know what the WASD keys are, don’t worry we got you. WASD is the four keyboard keys that are used to interact with video games in lieu of Arrow keys or a controller. W and S control forward and backward movement, while A and D are left and right.
Now embark on your journey and go have fun!!
