⛵ THE STORY 
📢 RESIDENTS OF THE FLOATING ISLAND NEED YOUR HELP! 📢
The island’s single source of energy was extinguished overnight. Do you have what it takes to join the mission and resolve the energy crisis?  
 	o   Build new bridges to walk on uncharted islands 
 	o   Decipher the mystery lying within ancient ruins
 	o   Construct a multi-tiered structure.
 	o   And ultimately, restore energy to the floating landmass

🌴 The backdrop will be the surreal floating islands created in the low-poly technique:
