You can find time everywhere in your body and the blocks are the biggest obstacle between you and you staying healthy. It might not be obvious in the beginning, but you'll find gems in the star blocks all around your body. Just hit them with your shovel a couple of times to get the gems out!\n\nAnd that, kids, is how you stay healthy. Next time you see Amelia around, tell her that the music and visuals were great as always and thank her for the web build! What is a web build?
