Arcade Version for Island 359

The developers behind Island 359 have also made a super smooth tournament build just for this event. Its amazingly arcade friendly, and has many simplifications and improvements over their existing arcade build. Players are dropped in with two weapons and no tutorial while dinosaurs automatically start coming after them.
