Why it's worth your time
The build uses a Canvas renderer, generated graphics and bundled scripts rather than an external game-service login.
The included language selector offers English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish and Japanese. Optional voice files are bundled with the local build.
Desktop keyboard movement and mobile touch-stick movement were checked in the actual ship stage, beyond the title screen. This is an opening-stage test, not a claim that the full campaign has been completed.
