* Please be patient here. The game may take a minute to load the software.

== Sign in with Google ==

After a moment, you'll see a Google Sign In button in the middle of the screen. Tap that button.

You may have to enter your Google password, or confirm that you want to sign in to the game. This might appear in a new tab or pop-up window. (The exact steps depend on your Google account settings.)

Once you've signed in, your real name and Google account portrait will appear.

== Create your character ==

If you have not played before, you'll immediately be asked to create your new character. You can customize the character, or just continue with the randomly-generated character design given to you.

You'll be able to change your character's appearance from within the game with [[wish magic]], so don't worry too much about it.

Your character's name must be unique and not offensive to other players.

== Get into the game ==

You can immediately join the game now. [[Parrot Nick]] and [[Parrot Jodie]] will ask you a few questions as you travel through the [[Tootangan Wish Mist]] to make sure you know the rules and understand the controls.
