Install instructions

To download the android build: go to your phone/device's Settings > Security (name might vary, it could be called Apps on some phones) > Install unknown apps.
Or you can just download and install the apk file and change your settings from the warning pop-ups. In both cases, you can change the settings back to how they were after the installation is complete, it shouldn't prevent you from playing.
(If you're unsure about this, feel free to only play in-browser, it should work fine!)

About the .zip file for pc: this version should work for Windows, Mac and Linux, but it's only been tested for Windows as of now. I'll update the tags when I'm sure it works ok on all three
