*2026-05-02, version 1.84*

Игра отличная, правда есть баги прошу исправить. Первый баг в том что когда ты играешь у тебя интерфейс с крафтами немного приближен что не удобно. Второе когда ты играешь за персонажа «Walani» и когда надо поставить доску для серфинга надо обязательно полчаса пытаться поставить его на воду. Также пожалуйста вас прошу сделайте для этой игры чтобы люди могли подключить клавиатуру и играть. А так игра отличная.
