Glad to see that you took my suggestions! I like the changes! I don't know if this makes the game easier or harder, but it certainly feels more dynamic.
The multiplayer mode is much more of an impactful addition than I would have thought. The swap option is a nice touch.
Side note: I also had the idea that maybe you should have to move back to the clearing to finish. Putting that as an optional extra challenge is nice.
Nice job! 馃憤
