Hey, so i’ve been working on a game for a while now. I wanted to add an island for the enemies to be on (both are sprites).
I added the enemies first, though, so the island appears to be above them in layers.
I couldn’t find a way to send the sprite backward before the enemies, can I have some help?

You should be able to change the z-layer of the sprites:

> @Sofia @actech Our latest release adds a z property to sprites on the canvas so you can move them in front and behind each other easily.
