Story
Another day another journey...
As living on planet earth and its surrounding solar system seemed boring Sqrxz decided to check out another location in the universe.
Just in case and to be extra careful he took a pocketful of emeralds with him to keep him in ready cash, but after starting his exciting journey he realised all his emeralds are suddenly missing.
Retracing his steps Sqrxz notices mysterious creatures popping up all over the place to hinder him in his search...
Oh what troublesome days... Help poor Sqrxz get back all his emeralds.
